Family violence is an issue that extends beyond social class boundaries. It inflicts deep emotional, psychological, and physical wounds on victims and their families. In Singapore, the domestic abuse legal framework offers some form of protection for affected individuals, however, accessing such provisions under the law can be complicated without professional assistance. This is where Amarjit Sidhu Law helps: one of the dedicated family law firms with a reputation for professional and sensitive handling of family violence cases.
What is Family Violence?
Family violence is a wider concept consisting of different types of abusive actions, such as:
- Physical violence or assault
- Verbal aggression and bullying
- Emotional or psychological abuse
- Stalking or threats
- Unlawful imprisonment or restriction of personal autonomy
Such acts are commonly found in intimate relationships between spouses, parents and children or in-laws. These abusive acts have a severely damaging impact on the welfare and safety of the victims—and children—especially.
Provisions Against Family Violence
There are different forms of legal aids available for victims of family violence within Singapore’s legal system. These orders from the court are meant to eliminate threatened violence and allow survivors to live safely. Some of the most common ones are:
- Personal Protection Order (PPO): Restricts further acts of violence from the abuser.
- Expedited Order (EO): A form of emergency order an authority can grant for immediate protection under critical circumstances.
- Domestic Exclusion Order (DEO): Permits physical removal of the perpetrator(s) from the domestic setting to protect the victim.
Amarjit Sidhu Law helps their clients with the entire process, including application filing and court representation, ensuring legal counsel is available at all stages, particularly when the order requires evidence to be submitted to court.
The Role of a Family Violence Lawyer
Individuals facing family violence often need more than legal documentation: they require a trusted professional who will provide them with the comfort of having someone who brings clarity and strength to their fight, mitigating their emotional distress. A qualified family violence lawyer’s role encompasses several important duties:
- Counsels on the most appropriate type of protection order that should be sought.
- Collects and gives validating evidence.
- Prepares documents and other relevant files in a timely manner.
- Represents clients during hearing in court.
