Nikki navigated me through unchartered territory with expert counsel. It was a blend of confidence, honesty... and objectivity with my best interests always in mind. Further to the professional qualities Nikki and her team possess, they were so personable and I felt they really appreciated and considered any emotional or sensitive matters. I have since recommended Niki and Vardags to friends which is the greatest compliment I can pay. Philip Rogers Knowledgeable, respectful and empathetic service and team.

The order prevents a person from harassing or threatening you. Depending on the drafting and the severity of your case, the non-molestation order can be drafted to prevent your spouse from contacting you or going near you. If the order is breached for any reason, the offending party can face significant penalties. If you own the home in which you live, you are not married to your spouse and your spouse has no legal entitlement to the property then the non-molestation order can also stop them from coming to your home. If this is not the case, you will need to apply for an [occupation order](https://vardags.com/law-guide/applications-divorce-proceedings/occupation-orders). Occupations are very similar to non-molestation orders but deal specifically with who lives in a home - if they are breached, they carry similar penalties. **If you are considering or going through a divorce, click below for a free initial consultation with one of our expert divorce solicitors.** [Click here to read](https://vardags.com/law-guide/applications-divorce-proceedings/non-molestation-orders) more or [here for our complete list of Divorce FAQs](https://vardags.com/faq/divorce) [Book Your Free Consultation](https://vardags.com/contact "Book Your Free Consultation") OUR FULL RANGE OF SERVICES -------------------------- Vardags is one of the UK's top divorce law firm serving clients in Basingstoke.
