A Non-Molestation Order is a type of injunction issued under the Family Law Act 1996 that prohibits a person from molesting, harassing, intimidating, or using violence against another person. These orders are most commonly sought in cases of domestic abuse and are designed to protect victims and their children.
At Tracenet Legal Services, we understand the sensitive nature of non-molestation orders. Our experienced process servers handle these documents with the utmost discretion, professionalism, and care, ensuring the respondent is properly served while maintaining the safety and confidentiality of the applicant.
A non-molestation order must be personally served on the respondent for it to be enforceable. This means the document must be physically handed to the named individual. Until the respondent has been served, they cannot be held in breach of the order (unless they were present in court when it was made).
