Do I have any legal rights which can protect me against domestic violence
Hello my husband hits me not very often but hits me and I want it to stop. I am not sure if I want to leave him I saw a post about refuges but I'm not sure I want to go to one of them yet. Do I have any legal rights? Is there a way I can stop him from beating me?

It can be a big and difficult decision to leave a violent partner so while you are thinking about what you want to do you could visit a free drop in domestic violence advice session. They hold these at Mackesys solicitors, a firm of family and children's solicitors. All the advisors are female and you can just turn up without an appointment.
