Restraining Orders

If you are afraid of retaliation by a former partner or spouse after the breakdown in your relationship, you can apply for a restraining order. A court order which prohibits an abuser from coming in contact with you, a restraining order may be necessary if you feel you are threatened by domestic violence from a former spouse or partner, or are being stalked by a stranger. There are different types of restraining orders, notably a non-molestation order and an occupation order. A non-molestation order is used to prevent deliberate threatening or harassment. An occupation order legally places limits on living in a home, and also restricts the perpetrator’s movements around you. If you have been the victim of domestic violence, you can enlist a solicitor to apply for an injunction for restraining your abuser. It would be helpful to seek legal advice and enlist the services of a lawyer experienced in such matters, and that is where Legal Compare can assist you.
