An Occupation Order is a legal directive issued by a court that determines who can live in the family home. It can grant you the right to reside in your home and simultaneously prevent another person, typically an abuser, from living there or entering the vicinity.
The court considers several factors before granting this order, including the potential harm to you and your children if the order is not issued, as well as your housing needs, financial resources, and the behaviours of both parties involved.
If you're in a situation where you do not feel safe living with your partner, or if you have already left the home due to violence but wish to return and ensure your abuser is excluded, an Occupation Order can be essential. Once issued, the order will specify the restrictions imposed on the respondent, including the duration these conditions are to be upheld.
