A Criminal Offence with Serious Consequences

Unlike other family court orders, breaching a Non-Molestation Order is a criminal offence, meaning the police can arrest the person in breach. The court process is therefore urgent and serious for both parties. Please select your position below.

Enforcing Your Order, Ensuring Your Safety

If your ex-partner has breached your Non-Molestation Order, it is vital to take action. This ensures your ongoing protection and upholds the authority of the court.

Reporting the Breach

Your first step should be to call the police, as they have the power to arrest the person in breach. We can then advise you on the parallel civil court process.

Applying to the Family Court

We can help you apply to the court to have the person committed to prison for contempt of court, the most serious sanction for breaching an order.

Key Questions About Breaching a Non-Molestation Order

Is breaching a Non-Molestation Order a criminal offence?

Yes. This is what makes it different from other family court orders. A breach is a criminal offence, and the police have the power to arrest the person who has breached the order. This can lead to a criminal record and, in serious cases, a prison sentence.

My ex-partner contacted me. What should I do? (For the Applicant)

If you have a Non-Molestation Order and your ex-partner contacts you or does anything else prohibited by the order, you should immediately call the police on 999 if you are in danger, or 101 if you are not. Do not respond to your ex-partner. Then, contact your solicitor for advice.

I've been arrested for an alleged breach. What are my rights? (For the Respondent)

You have the right to free and independent legal advice at the police station. You should say nothing to the police until you have spoken to a solicitor. We can provide urgent representation to ensure your rights are protected during an interview.

What counts as a "breach"?

Any action that is forbidden by the specific terms of the order is a breach. This includes direct contact (calls, texts, social media), indirect contact (sending messages through friends), coming within a certain distance of your home, or using threatening behaviour.
