Domestic abuse is devastating, no matter who the victim is. Yet, for men, the journey to acknowledgment and support can feel especially isolating. Stigma, societal stereotypes, and fear of not being believed often keep male victims silent, suffering in the shadows. But you don’t have to face this alone. At CH Family Law Ltd, we understand the unique challenges male victims encounter, and we are committed to providing the legal protection you need to reclaim your life.
The Hidden Crisis of Male Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse against men is more common than you realise:
- One in six men will experience domestic abuse at some point in their lives.
- Abuse manifests in various forms: physical violence, emotional manipulation, financial control, and coercive behaviour.
- Many male victims endure their suffering in silence, feeling trapped by shame or fear of not being taken seriously.
The numbers tell one part of the story, but behind every statistic is a person enduring the daily pain of abuse. You don’t have to staysilent.
Richard Spencer: A Voice for Male Victims
Richard Spencer’s story is both heart breaking and inspiring. For 20 years, Richard suffered horrific abuse at the hands of his wife, Sheree. Physical assaults, coercive control, and emotional manipulation defined his daily reality. Yet, Richard found the courage to document his ordeal through photos, videos, and audio recordings. His bravery led to Sheree’s conviction and a four-year prison sentence in 2023.
Richard’s journey shows that, even in the darkest times, there is hope. His decision to speak out has encouraged countless other male victims to seek help and reminded the world that abuse has no gender.
Legal Protections: How We Can Help You Take the First Step
If you’re experiencing domestic abuse, legal remedies are available, even when the police cannot intervene. At CH Family Law Ltd, we specialise in helping male victims secure injunctions to protect themselves and their families.
Non-Molestation Orders
A Non-Molestation Order offers robust protection by prohibiting your abuser from:
- Contacting or harassing you, directly or indirectly.
- Coming near your home or workplace.
- Engaging in threatening or abusive behaviour.
Why it matters: Breaching this order is a criminal offence, enabling immediate police intervention.
Occupation Orders
An Occupation Order provides exclusive possession of your family home, even if your abuser jointly owns or rents it. This can:
- Require your abuser to leave the home.
- Prohibit their return, giving you a secure space to recover.
