Injunctions, freezing bank accounts and preventing a parent taking a child out of the United Kingdom, are probably most commonly encountered when a relationship such as marriage or co-habitation breaks down. They are very often useful in these circumstances when one of the parties, or a child of the relationship, is being pestered, harassed or, sometimes, threatened with violence. Such injunctions are usually temporary and time-limited, but that is often enough to allow time for tempers to cool.

The most common injunctions are those which order a person not to harass or pester the other andor to keep away from certain places or people. Sometimes one person is ordered out of the matrimonial home or the home of a co-habiting couple) and, in cases where there is a real risk of violence, a power of arrest can be attached to the injunction. An injunction evicting a person from the matrimonial home is not treated lightly by the courts and requires proper grounds.
