Injunctions and Restraining Orders

In certain circumstances it may be necessary to act very quickly in order to protect your interests before a final hearing or before you can reach an agreement with your former partner.

Property

These circumstances can arise when one party stops paying the mortgage, empties a bank account or tries to sell assets. In these circumstances 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 arrangements are maintained until you resolve parenting matters with your former partner. The most common example is 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.
