A Prohibited Steps Order is an order granted by the Court preventing a parent from doing certain activities or events or making specific trips with their child/children.

The order will either specify the exact duration of the Prohibited Steps Order or it can last indefinitely until a further court order.  You should check how the Prohibited Steps Order is worded.

Typically the court will order the injunction to remain in place for as long as is necessary to provide the protection that is required.

The order must always come to an end by the time the child turns 18. It is not possible for a Prohibited Steps Order to continue beyond a child’s 18^th birthday.
