Who can I take out an injunction against?

Under the Family Law Act you can obtain an injunction/court order from those you are or have been married to; cohabitants and former cohabitants; those who live in the same household; certain relatives; the mother or father of the child.

There are two types of injunctions available to you:-

  • Non-molestation order -. It can prohibit actions such as harassment, violence or threats towards you or a child.
  • Occupation order – This deals with occupation of the home. The order can exclude a person from the home or an area around it, or give you access to the home if you have vacated voluntarily or otherwise.

In both cases the court may attach a Power of Arrest to the order if the order is breached.
