What happens if you don’t feel safe sharing your home with someone?

An occupation order lets the court decide who can live in the home. It can require someone to leave and stop them coming back or entering the surrounding area.

Ashley Le-Core explains how an order can give you space to work out what happens next with your home. If you need advice, our family lawyers can talk you through your options.

What is a non-molestation order, and how can it protect you?

If someone close to you is threatening, harassing or abusing you, this court order can set clear boundaries. It may stop them contacting you or coming near your home or workplace. Breaking the order can be a criminal offence.

Family lawyer Sam Farndale explains how it works. If this sounds familiar, our team can talk you through your options.

🎙️ As we near the end of our current series, this week's episode of Life, Love & The Law is now available. We're talking about the very personal subject of an ex attempting to stop you from seeing your child. 👪

When you’re going through divorce or separation as a parent, your children’s wellbeing is going to be the first thing on your mind. It’s natural to have worries and even fears about what the future holds. Some parents are able to work out post-separation arrangements between themselves, while others struggle. This can raise concerns about whether your ex can stop you from seeing your child.

In this episode, Liza and Emily break down how child arrangements work, focusing on what’s in the best interests of the child, and look at whether your ex can prevent contact.

Hint: almost always, it’s a no!
