If you are in urgent danger, always call 999. The police can provide immediate protection and may apply for an order on your behalf after a criminal case.
Contacting a family law solicitor ensures you get expert guidance on whether a restraining order is the right option. At Lyons Bowe, we help you understand the process and prepare the necessary evidence.
Courts require evidence to support your application. This may include:
Your solicitor will submit an application to the court. In urgent cases, you may be able to apply for an emergency order (known as a “without notice” order) that takes effect immediately.
The court will review the evidence and decide whether to grant the restraining order. The respondent will also have the chance to present their side, unless it is an emergency application.
If granted, the restraining order will set clear conditions. Breaching these terms is a criminal offence, and you can report it to the police.
At Lyons Bowe, we understand how distressing these situations can be. Our experienced family law solicitors provide:
No one should have to live in fear. A restraining order can give you the protection you need to feel safe and move forward.
