(This note is not part of the Order) Articles 1 to 3 are introductory. Articles 4 to 11 confer rights to occupy the matrimonial home where a spouse is not otherwise entitled to occupy it and provide for the registration of those rights (largely re-enacting Part II of the Family Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Northern Ireland) Order 1984). Articles 11 to 24 enable spouses, former spouses and cohabitees to apply for occupation orders and also enable the court to make non-molestation orders prohibiting persons from molesting another person associated with them or molesting a relevant child. Articles 25 and 26 make contravention of certain orders an offence and confer a power of arrest without warrant. Article 28 amends the Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 with respect to the powers of the court to make residence and contact orders in molestation cases and Article 29 provides for exclusion requirements in interim care orders and emergency protection orders. Articles 30 to 41 contain further supplementary provisions including provision for third parties to act on behalf of victims of domestic violence (Article 35). ISBN 0 11 065965 1
