Breaching a Non-Molestation Order is a criminal offence with serious consequences. Whether you need to enforce an order for your protection or you are responding to an allegation, our expert family law solicitors provide immediate, robust legal representation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Being accused of breaching a Non-Molestation Order is extremely serious. You need expert legal representation to ensure a fair hearing.
If you have been arrested, you have the right to a solicitor. We can provide urgent advice and representation during a police interview.
We provide a robust defence in both the criminal and family courts, ensuring your side of the story is heard and the evidence is properly challenged.
We understand the immense pressure you are under. Our role is to provide objective, non-judgmental legal advice focused entirely on the evidence and the law. We act swiftly and decisively to ensure you have robust representation in a highly serious legal situation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Allegations of a breached Non-Molestation Order are extremely serious for all involved. You must act quickly. Contact our expert family solicitors now for a confidential consultation.
