Protect your yourself and your children with an Occupation Order

Some forms of domestic abuse or harassment, including coercive and controlling behaviour are criminal offences and should be reported to the police in the first instance. 

Following this, in the event that the police have not dealt with this matter effectively and provided you with adequate protection, an application should be made to the Family Court for an occupation order. 

The Families Court can protect you and help you to resolve a case of abuse or harassment occurring within your household.

Perduco Law will assist you in obtaining the appropriate Occupation Order to ensure your safety and the peace of mind that you are entitled to.

What is an occupation order? 

An occupation order is an order of the court that determines who will live in the family home. It can be used to exclude someone from your property.  

An Occupation Order can also be used to regulate a specific issue or issues surrounding the occupation of your home, thereby preventing future harm or harassment from occurring.

How long does an occupation order last?

How long an occupation order will last is entirely at the discretion of the Judge.

It generally lasts up to 6 months but can be extended or renewed upon a further application, but only if there are exceptional circumstances in place.

What do I do if false allegations have been made against me and my cohabitant has applied for an occupation order? 

In the event that false allegations have been made against you, we can assist in pushing back firmly in this regard.  

What do I do if an occupation order has been breached?

This should be reported to the police immediately.

The Family Court should also be notified as soon as possible; this will also be a relevant consideration in the event that you wish to extend or place further restrictions within the order.
