Domestic violence - Court Orders

The Homelessness Section can also advise you on Court Orders:

•  A Non-Molestation Order is about behaviour. It can stop someone pestering, threatening, or being violent to you or any children you have.

•  An Occupation Order is about the home.

It can:

- Order the violent person to leave the home;

- Order the violent person not to come near the home;

- Order the violent person to allow you to enter or stay in the home;

- Decide what rights you or the violent person has to live in the home.

You will need a solicitor to get a Court Order. Information on local solicitors is also available from the Homelessness Section.
