These court orders are designed to protect you and your children from domestic abuse, harassment, intimidation, or threats from a partner, ex-partner, or family member.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you feel unsafe or have been subjected to physical, emotional, or psychological abuse, a Non-Molestation Order can offer immediate protection. Our team will guide you through every step of the application process and help you prepare all the necessary court documents with care and confidentiality.<\/p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3>What Is a Non-Molestation Order?<\/h3>\n<p>A <strong>Non-Molestation Order<\/strong> is a type of injunction under the <strong>Family Law Act 1996<\/strong> that prohibits an abuser from threatening, harassing, or contacting you. The order can also prevent them from coming near your home, workplace, or your child\u2019s school.<\/p>\n\n<p>The purpose of the order is to protect victims of domestic violence or harassment from further harm. Breaching a Non-Molestation Order is a criminal offence in the UK and can lead to arrest and imprisonment.<\/p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3>Who Can Apply for a Non-Molestation Order?<\/h3>\n<p>You can apply for a Non-Molestation Order if you are a victim of domestic abuse and have a <strong>personal relationship<\/strong> with the respondent, such as:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n  <li>A spouse, ex-spouse, or civil partner<\/li>\n  <li>A cohabiting or former partner<\/li>\n  <li>A fianc\u00e9(e) or someone you were engaged to<\/li>\n  <li>A family member or relative<\/li>\n  <li>The parent of your child<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Our team can help determine if you qualify and ensure your application is submitted correctly and urgently if needed.<\/p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3>When Can You Apply?<\/h3>\n<p>You can apply for a Non-Molestation Order if:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n  <li>You have experienced threats, violence, or harassment<\/li>\n  <li>You fear for your safety or the safety of your children<\/li>\n  <li>You are being intimidated, stalked, or contacted against your will<\/li>\n  <li>You have left an abusive relationship but are still being harassed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3>Emergency Applications<\/h3>\n<p>In urgent cases, you can apply for a <strong>Non-Molestation Order without notice<\/strong> (also called an ex-parte order). This means the other person will not be informed of your application until after the order is granted by the court. This offers immediate protection if you are in danger or fear retaliation.<\/p>\n\n<p>Our specialists can help you file an emergency application within 24 hours, ensuring the court hears your case as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3>How Long Does a Non-Molestation Order Last?<\/h3>\n<p>Typically, a Non-Molestation Order lasts for 6 to 12 months, but it can be extended or renewed if there is ongoing risk. If breached, the respondent can be arrested immediately and face criminal charges.<\/p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3>How The McKenzie Friend Can Help<\/h3>\n<p>Our team assists with every stage of your Non-Molestation Order application, including:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n  <li>Assessing whether you qualify for protection under UK law<\/li>\n  <li>Preparing the necessary court documents and witness statements<\/li>\n  <li>Submitting an emergency (without notice) application if needed<\/li>\n  <li>Helping you present evidence clearly in court<\/li>\n  <li>Ongoing guidance for child contact or occupation orders if required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3>Protection for Children<\/h3>\n<p>If your children have witnessed abuse or are at risk, you can include them in your application.

granted on the same day. For non-urgent cases, it may take one to two weeks depending on court availability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-box\">\n  <h3>What evidence do I need?<\/h3>\n  <p>You can provide witness statements, text messages, emails, medical reports, police reports, or photographs showing the abuse or harassment you\u2019ve suffered. We help you compile and present this evidence effectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-box\">\n  <h3>Does it cost money to apply?<\/h3>\n  <p>There is no court fee for applying for a Non-Molestation Order. However, you may wish to seek professional help with preparing your case. We offer affordable guidance and fixed-fee options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-box\">\n  <h3>Can I get protection for my children too?<\/h3>\n  <p>Yes. If your children are at risk or have witnessed abuse, you can include them in your Non-Molestation Order application for their protection as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-box\">\n  <h3>What happens if the order is breached?<\/h3>\n  <p>Breaching a Non-Molestation Order is a criminal offence and can result in immediate arrest and imprisonment for up to five years. Always report a breach to the police right away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-box\">\n  <h3>Can I apply if I\u2019ve already left the relationship?<\/h3>\n  <p>Yes. You can still apply if the abuse continues after separation or if you fear your ex-partner will continue to threaten, contact, or approach you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-box\">\n  <h3>Can men apply for Non-Molestation Orders too?<\/h3>\n  <p>Absolutely.
