Domestic-violence proceedings can involve different forms of relief. The appropriate remedy depends on the relationship, facts, evidence, urgency and the legal provisions applicable to the matter.
Depending on the facts and applicable law, proceedings may involve protection, residence-related, monetary and other reliefs. The court determines relief according to the statutory framework and evidence.
Messages, medical records, photographs, financial records and other relevant material should be preserved in original form. Do not manipulate electronic evidence or obtain material unlawfully.
Where there is an immediate threat to safety, appropriate emergency and police assistance should be considered in addition to legal advice. Court strategy should not delay urgent steps needed for safety.
