A non-molestation order is a civil injunction that protects you and your children from abuse, harassment, threats and intimidation. You apply to the family court using form FL401.
In urgent cases the court can make an order without telling the other person first, then list a further hearing where they can respond. Breaching a non-molestation order is a criminal offence.
If you are in immediate danger, call 999. The National Domestic Abuse Helpline is 0808 2000 247.
