A Non-Molestation order is a type of injunction that the Family Courts can grant to prevent one person from harassing or pestering another. There is a wide range of acts that the injunction can prohibit, they commonly include:
· A prohibition that one person cannot phone / text / make contact with another person,
· A prohibition that one person cannot enter a certain radius of where another person lives,
· A prohibition that one person cannot use or threaten violence against the other.
However to be eligible to apply for a Non-Molestation Order, the relationship between the Applicant and the Respondent must fall within the category of “Associated Persons”.
These include:
· Spouses or former spouses
· Civil partners or former civil partners
· Cohabitees or former cohabitees
· Relatives
· Fiancées
· Having an intimate relationship of a significant duration
· Parties who have a child together
· Parties who are subject to the same family law act proceedings.
An application for a Non-Molestation order will only be within the court’s jurisdiction if the parties fall into one of the above categories. Often, Non-Molestation orders are applied for to protect victims of domestic abuse.
