Abuse of one partner or a child causes immediate problems. We can apply for a court order to protect an abused spouse, partner or child. The usual orders applied for are non-molestation orders and occupations orders.

A non-molestation order prohibits the other party from using or threatening violence towards the abused person.

An occupation order regulates who can live in the family home. Breaches of these orders are arrestable offences. Such orders can be obtained very speedily if an emergency situation arises. Non-molestation and occupation orders do not cover every situation were violence or abuse occurs, sometimes a county court injunction will have to be applied for.
