Common categories of relief

Evidence should be preserved lawfully
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.
Urgent safety concerns
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.
