Injunctions

We understand that family breakdown can sometimes involve urgent situations where immediate legal protection is required. Our experienced family law team can advise and assist with a range of injunctions, including Non-Molestation Orders and Occupation Orders, designed to protect individuals and children from domestic abuse, harassment, intimidation, or threats.

We provide clear, sensitive advice and can act swiftly to make emergency applications where necessary, helping to ensure your safety and providing the legal protection you need during what can be a difficult and distressing time.

 

Non-Molestation Orders

If you are looking for an injunction or a Non-Molestation Order because you are concerned about someone’s behaviour towards you or your children, you may be able to get legal protection.

A Non-Molestation Order is a type of court order that can help protect you from a partner, ex-partner or family member who is harassing, threatening, intimidating or behaving violently towards you or your children. Depending on your circumstances, it can also prevent them from contacting you, following you, or coming to your home or workplace.

Domestic abuse isn’t always physical. It can include emotional or psychological abuse, financial control, intimidation, threats or coercive behaviour. You don’t have to have experienced physical violence to ask for help or explore whether a Non-Molestation Order could be right for you.

If you are unsure whether you can apply for an injunction or Non-Molestation Order, we can talk through your situation and explain your options.

 

Occupation Orders

If you need an injunction or an Occupation Order because you are worried about your living situation, you may be able to get legal protection to help you and your children feel safe at home.

An Occupation Order is a court order that can decide who is allowed to live in the family home. Depending on your circumstances, the court may ask an abusive partner to leave, allow you to return home if you have been forced to leave, or limit where they can go within or around the property.

You don’t necessarily have to own the property to apply for an Occupation Order. The rules can depend on your individual circumstances, which is why it’s important to get advice about your situation.

For many people, being able to stay safely in their home can provide some much-needed stability, particularly when children are involved. The court will consider things such as the housing and financial circumstances of both people, as well as the potential impact on everyone’s health, safety and wellbeing.

If you are unsure whether an Occupation Order could help you, we can talk through your circumstances, explain your options in straightforward terms and help you understand what steps you can take. If you or your children are at immediate risk, we can also advise you on the options available to help keep you safe.
