Full Detail
What it can do
A Non-Molestation Order can:
- Prevent someone from contacting you
- Stop harassment, threats, or abusive behaviour
- Prohibit someone from coming near your home, workplace, or children
- There are concerns about a child’s safety or wellbeing
Breaching a Non-Molestation Order is a criminal offence.
Who can apply
You can apply if the person is someone you are associated with, such as:
- A partner or former partner
- A spouse or civil partner
- Someone you live with or have lived with
- A family member
- Someone you share a child with
These orders are available to protect against all forms of domestic abuse, including physical, emotional, financial, and coercive behaviour.
What to expect
Applications can be made urgently, and in some cases without the other person being notified first.
The court will consider the situation and decide whether protection is needed.
If you are in immediate danger, you should contact the police.
