How to Apply for a Non Molestation Family Court Order?
In our society, many women get physically abused at the hands of their parents, in-laws and husbands. They used to suffer in silence but now the times have changed and women have become aware of their rights and they understand that no one has a right to abuse them physically, emotionally and even financially.
A non molestation order is a legal injunction issued by the family court that aims to prevent a woman from committing acts of violence, harassment, or intimidation. This order is typically sought by girls who are being harassed or abused by a family member or intimate partner. The court issues the order to protect the applicant and their children from harm.
If you are also a victim of abuse you can apply for a non molestation family court order by following these steps:
Consult a Reputable Family Lawyer:
One of the first steps towards getting a non-molestation family court order is to hire a competent family lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced enough to tackle your case in the best possible manner. An inexperienced lawyer will not be able to get you this order and you will have to live unprotected.it is better to discuss in detail with your lawyer about your situation and ask him for his advice before applying for this order.
Gather all the Pieces of Evidence:
Before applying you should make sure that you collect all the pieces of evidence of the abuse that you have faced. This evidence can be in the form of picture texts and even videos. You can later use them in court to prove that you have been a victim of abuse. You can ask your lawyer for his help in collecting and using the evidences in court in your favour.
Gather all the Documents:
After collecting the evidence ask our lawyer what are the important documents that he or she will need for the case. The lawyer will give you the list of documents that need and you have to arrange all of them.
File an Application in the Family Court
Visit the Family Court where you live or where the harassment occurred. File an application/petition for a Non-Molestation Order. The petition should clearly state The facts and instances of harassment. And The nature of the relationship with the person you are seeking protection from.
Ex Parte Orders (Urgent Orders)
In cases of urgent danger, you may request an ex parte order, meaning the court can issue a temporary order without notifying the other party. This temporary order can provide immediate protection until a full hearing is conducted.
Attend Court Hearing
The last step is to attend the court hearings, you can do it yourself and with the help of your lawyer as well. When you attend the court hearing the court will issue an order based on the pieces of evidence and the arguments provided by your family case lawyers.
