Who can get a Non-Molestation Order?

As mentioned above you can only obtain a Non- Molestation Order against what is known as an associated person. This includes the following:

  • If you are married or were married to the person.
  • If you are or were in a civil partnership with the person.
  • If you live with or lived with the person.
  • If you are related to the person.
  • If you agreed to marry the person.
  • If you agreed to form a civil partnership with the person.
  • If you both are parents or have parental responsibility for a child.
  • If one of you is a parent of a child and the other has parental responsibility for the child.
  • If both of you are parties to the same family proceedings.

If the person you wish to obtain an Order against does not fall under one the associated person categories, for example a friend, then you can apply for a Civil Injunction. We can also provide assistance if you require a Civil Injunction.
