Tag Archive for: domestic abuse concerns

Domestic abuse concerns refer to allegations or indicators of behaviour that may place a party or child at risk, including physical, emotional, psychological, financial, or coercive and controlling conduct. In legal proceedings, such concerns must be raised and considered within defined procedural frameworks, with attention to evidence, safeguarding duties, and proportionality.

Content under this tag examines how domestic abuse concerns are identified, raised, and assessed by courts and associated agencies, including the limits of what the court can determine at different stages. It also addresses common issues for litigants in person, such as evidential thresholds, appropriate use of court forms, and the distinction between safeguarding concerns and findings of fact.
