Hi, if anyone can offer advice I would be grateful as I’ve received court docs on Saturday and can’t get legal advice until Monday.
I applied for a non molestation and emergency occupation order yesterday. I have got a reply from the court but I’m unsure what it means.
I got three docs. My statement, my application and notice of proceedings doc.
I read it as it won’t be considered until “notice of proceedings - directions appointment “ when stbx will get to argue his points.
But my friend thinks it is granted just needs to be served, then H will be invited to this hearing along with me and the judge.
I just need clarity as I’ve not stopped shaking at the thought of being in the same house while we build up to a hearing.
This is the wording from the court.
“Your application has been considered by the judge and listed for the hearing on notice to the respondent.
Please see attached notice of proceedings, processed application and statement.
Please confirm that you have received risk assessment form and you will send the completed form. Respondent will be served personally by the court bailiff as soon as we receive the risk assessment.”
Thank you in advance for any help.
