What is a Non-Molestation Order?

A Non-Molestation Order is a civil injunction issued by the Family Court. Under the Family Law Act 1996, it forbids a specific person (the “Respondent”) from

  • Using or threatening violence against you or your children.
  • Harassing, pestering, or intimidating you in person or online.
  • Communicating with you directly or indirectly (including via social media).
  • Coming near your home, workplace, or your children’s school.

Crucially, breaching a Non-Molestation Order is a criminal offence. If the order is ignored, the police can arrest the perpetrator immediately, leading to a potential prison sentence of up to five years.

Can I Apply for One?

To apply, you must be an “associated person” to the abuser. This includes

  • Current or former spouses and civil partners.
  • Cohabitants or former cohabitants (people you lived with).
  • Partners you have been in an intimate relationship with for a significant duration.
  • Family members or those who share parental responsibility for a child.

Why Acting Now Is Essential

    Failing to act promptly can have significant consequences:
  • Continued Abuse: Without legal protection, the perpetrator may continue their harmful behaviors.
  • Emotional and Physical Impact: Prolonged abuse can severely affect your mental and physical health.
  • Impact on Children: Children exposed to abusive environments often experience long-term emotional distress and behavioral challenges.
Ignoring the situation now can lead to greater harm for you and your children in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does a Non-Molestation Order last?
Orders typically last for 6 to 12 months, though they can be extended if you still feel at risk.
2. Do I have to pay a court fee?
No. Unlike most family court applications, there is no court fee to apply for a Non-Molestation Order.
3. What is the difference between this and an Occupation Order?
A Non-Molestation Order protects you from behaviour, while an Occupation Order decides who can live in or return to the family home. We can help you apply for both simultaneously if needed.
4. Can I get an order if there hasn’t been physical violence?
Yes. Modern UK law recognises that coercive control, emotional abuse, and financial abuse are all grounds for a protective injunction.
