Occupation Orders

If you want to:

  • prohibit  a person from coming within a certain distance of you and/or your children and/or your home
  • regulate the basis on which you both occupy your home, for example, by specifying the days and times each of you can live there

you can apply for an occupation order.

A court when deciding whether to grant an occupation order will take into account:

  • each party’s financial resources
  • whether either party can live elsewhere
  • the nature of the conduct complained of 

There may be financial implications if an occupation order is made. At Hart Brown our family lawyers can advise you on obtaining or defending an occupation order. We understand how important such an order is for both parties.   

To speak to someone who can help with occupation orders, call, email or request a call back from one of our specialist lawyers.
