    • After speaking to Preenay Chohan yeaterday my situation was made a lot clearer and he has given me some options to consider going forward, in what I can only describe as an horrendous situation I have found myself in.

      Danny Dixon
    • I can’t thank Preenay enough for everything he did. When I first asked for help I didn’t know who to turn to or what to do and he helped me from start to finish and offered endless support throughout. I genuinely would not have been able to get through everything if it wasn’t for Preenay. The words I write just can not do the help he gave justice.

    What are Non-Molestation Orders Used For?

    A Non-Molestation Order is designed to protect victims of domestic violence, harassment, or abuse. Issued by the family court, this order prevents someone (often an ex-partner) from using violence, threatening, or harassing you and your children. It also forbids contact via phone, messages, or even through third parties. In short, it creates a legal boundary that the respondent (the person the order is made against) cannot cross.

    The Difference Between a Non-Molestation Order and Restraining Order

    At Family Courts, you can get a Non-molestation Order. In criminal courts, it’s a Restraining Order. They both protect you and let police arrest the offender if the order is broken. Non-molestation Orders are for ‘connected’ people like ex-partners, while Restraining Orders protect crime victims. If you’re unsure about which one is right for you, contact our McKenzie Friends to guide you through the process.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How to apply for a Non-Molestation Order?

    Applying for a non-molestation order can be done through the court system. However, it is important to note that if the situation is urgent, you may get an emergency order.

    According to the Section 62(3) of the Family Law Act 1996, an emergency order can be granted where there is an immediate risk of violence or harassment.

    Here’s what you’ll need:

    • Fill out Form FL401: This form details why you need protection.
    • Provide a Statement: Your statement should explain the abuse you’ve experienced.
    • Apply for an Urgent Order: If necessary, you can apply without notifying the other party (ex parte) if you’re in immediate danger.

    Who can apply for a Non-Molestation Order?

    Anyone in a domestic relationship (current or former) with the abuser can apply. This includes:

    • Spouses or Ex-Spouses
    • Cohabitants or Former Partners
    • Family Members (siblings, parents, etc.)
    • Anyone with Parental Responsibility for a Child

    What options are available to the Respondent?

    Once an order is issued, the respondent can either:

    • Accept the Order: This means no further action is needed.
    • Challenge the Order: They may choose to contest it in court, requiring a court hearing to present their side.

    We can help you prepare for any situation, ensuring your rights remain protected.

    How long will an Order remain in place?

    Typically, a Non-Molestation Order lasts for 6 to 12 months, depending on the situation. If necessary, we can assist in extending the order for longer protection.

    Will I need a solicitor to go to court for a Non-Molestation Order?

    You do not need a solicitor to go to court for a non-molestation order. You can represent yourself in court, or ask us to help you. As a McKenzie Friend, we can provide support and assistance to you in court if you are not represented by a lawyer.

    What protection does a Non-Molestation Order give?

    A Non-Molestation Order can:

    • Prohibit violence or threats against you or your children.
    • Restrict contact in any form, including calls, texts, or social media.
    • Prevent the abuser from coming near your home, work, or children’s school.

    What if Orders are breached?

    Breaching a Non-Molestation Order is a criminal offence in the UK, punishable by up to 5 years in prison. You must report any breaches to the police immediately. Our McKenzie Friends can represent you if this occurs, ensuring your safety is maintained.

    How much does a Non-Molestation Order cost?

    The cost can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the level of legal representation required.

    However, our McKenzie Friend service is more affordable than hiring a solicitor. We understand that financial barriers shouldn’t stop you from seeking protection, which is why we offer Free Case Evaluation.
