    Both Preenay and Klaudia were excellent in supporting me with my child arrangements order; from the very first call with Preenay to discuss my situation, to the final hearing which Preenay attended, he's been very professional and informative throughout. Klaudia has assisted me mostly throughout the last 18 months and has always remained non-judgemental, professional and very understanding of my situation.

    Preenay has helped me at every stage of proceedings; reviewing documentation, prepping for a hearing, prioritising strategy, constructing key arguments and even accompanying me at hearings to prompt me where necessary. Having said that, Preenay always ensures the client’s suggestions and direction are always taken on board. I would highly recommend Preenay to family and friends alike.

    Great advice from the first phone call, which then continues throughout each steps with clear explanations. Unlike some solicitors the terms used aren’t confusing nor is it stressful trying to speak to somebody to never receive a call back! A phone call is welcomed and if you leave a message somebody will always get back to you shortly.

    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.

    4 Steps to Secure Your Non-Molestation Order Fast

    Don’t let harassment hold you back. Get the protection you deserve.

    1. Confidential Consultation

    Discuss your specific experiences of harassment or abuse with our experienced McKenzie team. We’ll provide tailored advice based on your unique situation.

    2. Thorough Case Assessment

    Our McKenzie team reviews your case thoroughly, checking evidence and crafting a strong plan. We make sure your case is clear, straightforward, and ready for court.

    3. Dedicated Representation

    Our McKenzie Friends support you throughout, handle all necessary paperwork, represent you in family court, and negotiate with the other party to secure a favorable outcome.

    4. Post-Order Court Support

    Our empathetic team help you understand and enforce your order, offering extra support as needed. We also connect you with resources for ongoing safety and emotional well-being.

    Areas of Expertise

    Area of Expertise

    We understand that time is of the essence when it comes to domestic violence. That’s why we prioritise swift action. In urgent cases, we work diligently to secure a non-molestation order within 24 hours, providing you with immediate protection from harm.

    Extending Orders

    If the threat persists, we assist in extending your Non-Molestation Order beyond its initial period. We help gather updated evidence to support your case, ensuring continuous protection. Our team handles the process swiftly to avoid any gaps in your safety.

    Variation & Discharges

    Circumstances may change over time. If you need to modify the terms of your existing non-molestation order or if the situation has improved and you believe the order is no longer necessary, we can guide you through the process of variations and discharges.

    Representing in Cases of Breach

    A breach of a Non-Molestation Order is a serious offence. We guide you on reporting the breach to the police and assist in any legal proceedings to ensure the respondent is held accountable. Our team will work tirelessly to secure the protection you deserve.

    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


    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
