⚠️ If you are in immediate danger, please call the police on 999 right away.
What is a Non-Molestation Order?
A Non-Molestation Order is a court order that protects you and your children from harassment, threats, violence, or intimidation from a partner, ex-partner, or family member.
-
It can prevent them from contacting you directly or indirectly.
-
It can stop them from coming near your home, workplace, or your child’s school.
-
Breaching this order is a criminal offence, meaning the police can take immediate action if it’s broken.
This order is about protecting you from harm, whether emotional, physical, or psychological.
What is an Occupation Order?
An Occupation Order sets out who can live in the family home. Depending on your situation, it may:
-
Exclude an abusive partner from the property.
-
Allow you and your children to stay in the home, even if the house is in the other person’s name.
-
Decide who pays for rent, mortgage, or bills during the order.
Occupation Orders provide stability, ensuring you have a safe place to live while longer-term decisions are being made.
