Injunctions – Family Law Solicitors
With over 15 years of experience, AXIS Solicitors delivers trusted results in injunctions and family law UK, helping clients protect themselves and their children from domestic abuse, harassment, or violence.
Injunctions Process
Document Preparation
Our solicitors gather and organise all essential documents to support your injunction application, including evidence of domestic abuse, harassment, threats, or child protection concerns. Proper preparation strengthens applications for injunctions, non-molestation orders, prohibited steps orders, specific issue orders, and occupation orders. Clear, thorough documentation increases the likelihood of the court granting the protection you need.
Filing Injunction Applications
We prepare and submit all necessary court applications, including applications for injunctions, urgent injunctions, or injunctions without notice. Our family law solicitors ensure every form is accurate, legally compliant, and positioned to achieve the best outcome for your safety and your children’s welfare.
Interim & Emergency Orders
If your situation requires immediate protection, we assist in securing interim or emergency injunctions, including urgent prohibited steps orders and emergency occupation orders. These orders provide temporary legal protection while your full application is considered, ensuring safety and stability for you and your family.
Final Orders & Enforcement
Once the court reviews your case, a final injunction legally confirms the restrictions or requirements placed on the other party. This may include prohibited steps, specific issue instructions, or occupation rights. Our solicitors represent you throughout the process, including challenging or defending injunctions if needed, to ensure your rights and safety are fully protected.

Every step of the process was handled clearly and professionally. They kept track of all communication from the UKVI, answered my questions quickly, and made sure nothing was missed.
This visa route is complex, but Axis made it feel manageable. I always knew what was happening and what needed to be done next.

Frequently Asked Questions
An injunction is a court order designed to protect you, your children, or your property. It can include non-molestation orders, prohibited steps orders, specific issue orders, and occupation orders. Injunctions can stop someone from taking harmful actions or require them to take specific actions.
You can apply if you are a parent, guardian, or anyone with parental responsibility for a child, or if you need protection from abuse or harassment. This includes applying for urgent injunctions or injunctions without notice in cases of immediate risk.
A prohibited steps order prevents a parent or guardian from taking a specific action regarding a child, such as taking them out of the country, changing their school, or making medical decisions without consent. You must demonstrate that the order is necessary to protect the child’s welfare.
A specific issue order resolves disputes about particular decisions affecting a child, such as education, health, religion, or contact with relatives. This order allows one parent or guardian to make a decision when the parties cannot agree.
An occupation order regulates who can live in or enter a family home. It is often used to exclude an abusive partner or to secure a parent and children’s residence. Emergency occupation orders can be applied for if immediate protection is needed.
Yes, in urgent situations where there is a risk of immediate harm, you can apply for an injunction without notice. This means the other party is not informed before the order is made. The court will usually schedule a hearing later where both parties can present their case.
The duration depends on the type of order. For example, prohibited steps orders and specific issue orders may last until a particular event occurs, such as a child reaching a certain age. Occupation orders are often temporary (six to twelve months) but can be extended or varied.
You should provide witness statements, medical reports, school or childcare records, proof of threats or abuse, and any previous court orders or agreements. Strong documentation is critical to securing a prohibited steps order, specific issue order, or occupation order.
