Supporting you to get an Injunction

If your abusive ex-partner, spouse or family member is harassing you, threatening you or abusing you or your family, then it may be that you should seek injunctive relief. In the family courts, there are two types of injunctions. These are:


  • Non-Molestation Orders. These prevent your abuser from using or threatening violence against you, stops them from being able to contact you and coming within a certain distance of your home.
  • Occupation Orders. If your abuser has any right to occupy your home, then you will need to seek this order if you wish to prevent them living there. 


Leaving an abusive relationship is often a very difficult and emotional experience. We are here to support you.


Other ways we can help

In some situations, a harassment warning letter may prevent any harassment, abuse or threats. However, if your case is more serious, then it may be that the first step would be a court application for a non-molestation and or occupation order. We will carefully consider your options with you and agree the right course of action for you and your family.
