Temporary Injunction For Protection Against Domestic Violence With Minor Children

An application for an interim injunction must usually be supported by evidence. This will usually be in the form of a witness statement or affidavit including all material facts of which the Court should be made aware, and attaching relevant documents.

The Judge will hear the application and decide whether or not it is suitable to issue an injunction. At the first hearing the Judge will (more than likely) issue an interim order, followed by a further hearing to issue the injunction. The average cost of obtaining an injunction is approximately £500.

Each party may bring witnesses to testify for them at the hearing. The judge may issue a final, or permanent injunction after a hearing with both parties. Unless it is for a certain time, an injunction stays in effect until the court changes it. There are penalties if respondent violates the injunction.

An injunction begins with a petition requesting the court to grant injunctive relief.If the court approves your request for an injunction, the court can order the defendant to temporarily do something or stop doing something they are doing until a final hearing can be held.

An injunction is a permanent court order which prohibits contact between individuals and can involve removing someone from a home or apartment.The two most common injunctions that we see as family law attorneys are domestic violence injunctions and harassment injunctions.

What is the purpose of an injunction? Injunctive relief is appropriate to prevent a harmful action, to put a stop to ongoing or repeated conduct that violates a person's rights or causes injury, or to force a defendant to take action in order to prevent harm.

It typically takes a week or two to get an injunction, but you can apply for an injunction to be granted on the same day if you are at immediate risk of significant harm. If the court grants an injunction without notice, you will have to go back to court later for a hearing once the abuser has been given notice.

Even if the court does not issue a restraining order (or if there has not been a criminal trial at all) you can make an application for a protective injunction.

The court can make an order or injunction that the person harassing you must stop their behaviour. If they don't stop harassing you after the court has made an injunction against them, it's a criminal offence and they can be prosecuted in the criminal courts.
