Non molestation order

jas58 August 6, 2013 20:33
Has anyone taken out one of these? I am seriously considering it with regards to my as, who is being constantly threatening and abusive. We have found him somewhere else to live, but he still will not leave us alone. He turns up every day demanding money and food and when we won''t give him money starts hurling abuse. Today he followed me all the way to the hairdressers shouting and yelling and only left when the rather large owner appeared in the doorway! I honestly can''t take anymore. I am not safe in my own home, or even out on the street it seems?????

I do not have direct experience of this but it sounds like action is necessary. Could you speak to your local police service? I always found them extremely helpful. It may also be a good idea to get legal advice from a specialist lawyer. I would seek advice urgently as this behaviour must not be allowed to carry on.Lily x

Sorry to hear he is putting you through this - it was something we looked at with our ds as he went through a phase of turning up with a motley crew at my dh's workplace. The practicalities of it all were another thing - fortunately a timely arrival of a patrolling car and some verbal warnings were sufficient to make them think again eventually.There is a good explanatory article on nmo's on a website if you google that and Laura guillon (sp) I think - which may give you some info. Of course there is the cost to consider too. Keep a record of current incidents and do talk to your local police asap - they can be very helpful and you shouldn't be having to endure this.Look after yourselfMx

it is so utterly stressful. I have been through a very similar thing, tho much better now. I looked in to taking out a non molestation or harassment order etc. I was told it would cost alot of money with a solicitor, and could take quite a time. Also, it could have power of arrest but this would not be full proof. I was also told that there was enough evidence on my AS to go through the police, but that if I wanted to get an order I would have to press charges in court. I wanted to avoid this as far as possible. So instead, I got the police involved in terms o giving warnings, and making it very clear that the bahviour of my son was illegal. The police were excellent and made it clear that if the behaviour continued, there would be ramifications, and he would end up in court. They put a 'history marker' on the house, and when he came and was abusive and threatening and destructive I would dial 999, they would come, and usually by the time they arrived he had gone. They would follow up with a visit to him, or a call. It set a very clear boundary, and over time he did stop, and did calm down. Good luck with it all. It is so awful to endure. xx
