Legal Advice

Courts and Lawyers

Courts can help victims of domestic violence by forbidding the perpetrator to enter the home, to approach the home to a certain extent, or to stay in certain places (e.g. workplaces, kindergartens or schools) where the victims of violence regularly reside. There is also the possibility to pronounce a non-contact act which applies to the affected women and children (including the offenders).
