Details

You can use the FL401 form to apply for:

  • a non-molestation order, which protects you and any relevant child from abuse or harassment this order can also prevent someone coming to or near your home
  • an occupation order, where the court decides who should live in, or return to, the home or any part of it

These orders are types of injunction.

There are no court fees for applying. You can apply for either order or both, depending on your situation.

The form includes further information and guidance to help you complete your application.

You must also complete a supporting witness statement. Our template is designed to help you provide all the information needed by the court. You do not need to use this template if you would prefer to write your own statement. However, you may still find the guidance in our template helpful.

If you choose to write your own supporting statement, it must include the following statement of truth, along with your signature and the date:

I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth. I believe that the facts stated in this form and any continuation sheets are true.
