An Occupation Order controls who can live in a property and can prevent the Respondent from entering the home and surrounding areas. If you have left your home because of the behaviour of you partner and wish to return but without your Partner, an Occupation Order can be applied for. When deciding if it will grant this Order, the Court will consider a number of factors such as the housing needs and resources of you and the Respondent, the financial resources of you both and your behaviour to one and another. As with a Non-Molestation Order, Occupation Orders can be made ex-parte in emergency situations.
