Non-molestation order

A Non-Molestation Order is a type of injunction issued by the family court in the UK to protect individuals from abuse or harassment. Here are the key points. It aims to prevent a person (the respondent) from molesting another person (the applicant) or any relevant child. Molestation can include violence, harassment, or threats.

You can apply if you are a victim of domestic abuse and the respondent is someone you have a relationship with, a family member, or someone you have lived with.

Breaching a Non-Molestation Order is a criminal offence. If the respondent ignores the order, they can be arrested and may face imprisonment.

Applications are made using Form FL401, and there are no court fees for applying.
