Non-Molestation or Occupation Orders

Non-molestation and Occupation Orders can be applied for without notice to the other party involved should you require an emergency application. Either of these orders can protect you should you suffer violence or the threat of violence within a domestic setting. An Occupation Order can set out who is permitted to live at a property and can remove others from the property and prevent their return.  

Whether you wish to apply for a non-molestation or occupation order or defend an application which has been made or granted, it is important that you obtain legal advice at the earliest opportunity to ensure you are properly represented and so that all the facts can be presented to the court. If an order is made against you, seeking advice early is imperative so that you are aware of your rights and any restrictions placed on you as breaching such orders can result in imprisonment and often they will have an attached power of arrest.  

We also advise and represent clients accused of breaching non-molestation orders, heard in the Magistrates’ Court or breaching Occupation Orders, heard in the family court. In cases of alleged breach, you may be eligible for public funding for your case particularly for breaching an occupation order for which criminal legal aid is both available and is not dependant on your income.
