Frequently asked questions
A non-molestation order is a court order designed to protect you or your children from harassment, threats or violence. It prevents an abusive person from contacting you or coming near your home. Breaching this order is a criminal offence. These orders can be applied for urgently if you are at risk. We help you prepare the application, gather evidence where possible and guide you through the process to secure protection quickly.
An occupation order sets out who can live in the family home and can be used to exclude an abusive person from the property. It helps create a safe living environment during a difficult time. We explain whether an occupation order is suitable for your situation and guide you through each step of the application.
Yes. You can still apply for protective orders even if you have left. Many people leave quickly for safety and seek legal protection afterwards. We help you understand your options, assess risk and ensure you have clear guidance moving forward.
You can still apply for a protective order without formal evidence such as messages or photos. Courts understand that domestic abuse often happens behind closed doors. Your account of what happened is important. We help you prepare a clear and accurate statement to support your application.
Protective orders can often be granted quickly if there is an immediate risk. Many applications can be made without the other person being present in court. We explain expected timeframes and act as quickly as your situation requires.
No. Speaking to a solicitor is confidential. We discuss your concerns privately and advise you on safe next steps. If you decide to pursue a protective order, we guide you through the process safely and discreetly.
