What is a Non-Molestation Order?
A Non-Molestation Order is a type of injunction issued by the family courts to protect individuals from harassment, abuse, or violence. The order prevents someone from engaging in certain behaviours, which can include:
- Threatening, harassing, or intimidating behaviour.
- Physical abuse or violence.
- Contacting you in ways that cause distress, such as through calls, messages, or social media.
- Coming near your home or place of work.
These orders are designed to safeguard you from harm by legally restricting the behaviour of the person in question.
These orders can be made with or without notice to the respondent.

When is a Non-Molestation Order Needed?
Non-Molestation Orders are typically sought in situations of domestic abuse or when someone is at risk of harassment or harm. If you or your children are experiencing any form of abuse—whether emotional, physical, or psychological—a Non-Molestation Order can help to prevent further harm by legally prohibiting the abuser from continuing these actions.
Some common scenarios where a Non-Molestation Order may be appropriate include:
- Domestic violence from a current or former partner.
- Threats or harassment from a family member.
- Protecting yourself and your children from harm or abuse.
You can usually apply for a Non-Molestation Order if you are the victim of abuse from:-
- someone you’re having or have had a relationship with
- a family member
- someone you’re living or have lived with
If you believe you are at risk or experiencing ongoing harassment or abuse, it’s important to take action quickly to secure your safety.
