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.

How does the court decide whether or not to make an Occupation Order?
The court’s primary consideration is whether you or any child is likely to suffer significant arm due to the conduct of your cohabitant if the order is not made.
When deciding whether to make an order, the court will also consider all of the circumstances of the matter including the:
- Housing needs of the parties.
- Financial resources of the parties.
- The likely effect of any decision by the court not to exercise its powers on the health, safety and wellbeing of the applicant and any child.

My partner is harassing me
When harassment is affecting your well-being, a non-molestation order is often a more effective solution than making a criminal complaint.
Our solicitors at Perduco Law can help you put your safety first with a Non-molestation Order.
I want the perpetrator removed from my home
If a disruptive or abusive member of your household is affecting your well-being or your safety, an Occupation Order can help you to remove the individual from the premises.
Our solicitors will assist you in obtaining the appropriate Occupation Order to ensure your safety and the peace of mind that you are entitled to. Contact us to learn more.
Can you help me transfer the tenancy to my name?
In cases where a separated couple is renting a property, both parties may be named on the tenancy agreement. This can lead to a situation where the tenancy is contested once the household splits up.
Our solicitors can help you apply to the court to transfer your tenancy agreement to your name and find a satisfactory outcome for your future.
How do I apply for an occupation order?
In order to apply for an occupation order, an application will need to be submitted to the court.
Alongside the application, an accompanying witness statement and draft order outlining what you are seeking should also be submitted to the court.
