Injunctions, Restraining and Intervention Orders

Sometimes it may be necessary to act very quickly to protect your interests before you can reach an agreement with your former partner.

Property

This can arise when your partner stops paying the mortgage, empties a bank account, or tries to sell assets. It is important to act quickly to obtain an order from the court to protect the property. Speed is vital: a court order is unhelpful if the property has already disappeared.

You and your children

Sometimes it is also necessary to obtain an injunction to protect yourself and/or your children or to ensure that existing parenting arrangements are maintained until you resolve parenting matters with your former partner. The most common example is to obtain an injunction to prevent a parent from relocating with a child, locally or overseas.

We can advise you about the need for an injunction, prepare an urgent application and represent you in court at short notice.
