What is an Interdict and how does it work?

Occasionally couples need to apply to the court to stop their spouse from doing something, e.g. from harassing them, from coming to the family home unannounced and causing problems, from interfering with arrangements for children, from unlawfully removing children from Scotland – and so on.  The courts have allowed power to Interdict a parent from behaving in such a manner, in addition to being able to grant a variety of other orders including a Non Harassment Order, granting a Power of Arrest which means a person can be arrested for breaching a court order even if they’ve strictly speaking, not committed a crime in so doing. If you are a parent and you feel threatened by your former partner you need us to obtain an Interdict or a non-harassment order right now. Contact us now for more information.
