Domestic Violence | Non Molestation Orders

The court can make a number of orders. These include:

Non molestation injunction order

For when you and / or your children have been subject to actual violence or threatened with violence. Non molestation injunction orders may also be appropriate where you have been harassed or intimidated (e.g. with repeated abusive telephone calls, text messages and / or emails).

Occupation order

An occupation order allows you to live in the family home to the exclusion of the other party and may also exclude them from the immediate area and other designated places.

Our domestic abuse law advice

Our family lawyers appreciate that this is likely to be a very stressful time and will react calmly, efficiently and quickly to advise and assist. In appropriate circumstances we can seek to apply to the court that day, without notifying the other party, so that you and your children are protected.

There are other practical issues we can help you with. For instance, we can direct you to agencies who can provide accommodation and funding for emergency assistance (including housing benefit).
