Undertakings in place of Non-Molestation Order?

[NezzaDad]

I have applied for a Non-Molestation Order against my ex-partner.

We've had the initial hearing and she has asked for me to consider accepting Undertakings instead of pursing the NMO.

We've now agreed on the terms of the Undertaking and I am happy for us to proceed on this basis.

We have the final hearing booked for the end of August, but I would like to wrap this up before then, but don't know the procedure for the submission of the Undertakings and if that can be done ahead of the final hearing & if so, am I able to withdraw the application for the NMO based on the acceptance of the Undertakiings?

I've tried contacting the Family Support section of my Court, but they never seem to pick-up the phone & take absolutely ages to respond to Emails unless they are marked URGENT.

Any ideas how this works???

Cheers,
Nez

Any undertaking is just a promise and does hold much value, the police dont really act on it, unless you have a power of arrest attached to it. If you agreed to the undertaking in the initial hearing, it could have been finalised then. The wording and agreement of your undertaking will be done in your final hearing.
