If you are being threatened, harassed or subjected to violence, the court may be able to help. A non-molestation order is an injunction designed to protect you (and, where relevant, your children) from harmful behaviour.

Domestic abuse is a pattern of behaviour used to control, intimidate or harm. It can include:

• Physical abuse
• Emotional abuse
• Financial abuse
• Psychological abuse
• Sexual abuse
• Stalking, either physically or via social media
• Controlling and coercive behaviour

It can happen in:

• Intimate relationships
• Or between family members

Anyone can be affected. If you’re not sure whether what you’re experiencing is abuse, we can listen and help you understand the legal protection that may be available.
