Non Molestation Order – Apply Online

A Non Molestation Order is a type of injunction issued by the Family Court under the Family Law Act 1996.
It prevents someone from using or threatening violence, intimidating you, or contacting you in any way that causes distress.

This order can:

Stop your abuser from coming near your home, work, or your children’s school
Prevent phone calls, messages, or social-media contact
Provide immediate legal protection in urgent situations

Breaching a Non Molestation Order is a criminal offence that can result in arrest and imprisonment.
