What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to improve the support available to victims of domestic violence who have been forced to flee the marital home by:
* ensuring access to legal aid for divorce proceedings where domestic violence is a contributing factor;
* ensuring victims are financially compensated for loss of the marital home, including loss of personal possessions and furniture left in the property; and
* ensuring that victims are consulted before any changes are made to non-harassment orders.
