Forced Marriage

A Forced Marriage Protection Order under the Family Law Act 1996 s.4A is a significant injunctive Order which has far reaching implications.

A FMPO may be obtained on an ex parte basis, ie without anyone being told, but once in place, those alleged to be involved will be served with te Order and a retun date to Court so given.

In challenging a FMPO parties will be required to address te concerns and evidence upon which the injunction was obtained.

I am able to assist in this specialist area of law, having experience of dealing with allegations of a Forced Marriage through the Court process.

From the obtaining of the Order prior to the marriage to dealing with the situation where the marraige has already taken place, I am able to advise, guide and represent throughout the process.
