Non Molestation Order

[mlp3282]

My (soon to be ex) h has contested an EA non molestation order and we are going to final hearing. At the second hearing he intimidated me in the court waiting area and at another hearing he nearly got arrested as I had Police with me in the Court room! Now I am going to next hearing without police and I am absolutely terrified. How can I protect myself? And what happens at the contested hearing if he denies everything which he will.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thank you

Are you represented?
Is he?

I was but think they are stepping back due to cases being linked. He says he is but has never brought a solicitor to court

What do you mean, "cases being linked?"

Write to the court asap asking for special measures to be taken, screens in the courtroom, a separate waiting room, and for you to be brought in through the back.

If he denies everything the judge will listen to the evidence from both of you and will decide who to believe.

I had to write a statement of account when I got my non mol
It's a chronological account of what happened and when
Was given to the judge ( husband also had a copy) who read it and gave the order. Took 15 min max
