A mother and her son have been ordered not to see each other for two years after police went to court to obtain an injunction keeping them apart.
The highly unusual move means Tina Lean, 54, and her 31-year-old son Jamie Power will be kept apart until 2024.
If they flout the injunction and meet up, they could both be sent to prison.
Thames Valley Police said the injunction was granted with "great reluctance" after both mother and son "refused to engage" with attempts to support them.
Milton Keynes County Court granted the police an anti-Social Behaviour Civil Injunction which will be in place until September 2024.
A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: "Tina Lean, of Belgrave Road in Aylesbury, Bucks., and Jamie Power, of Freemantle Road in Aylesbury, are both subject to the injunction.
"The injunction forbids Lean from being in a private dwelling or any paid accommodation with Power and encouraging Power to breach the terms of the injunction.
"Meanwhile, the injunction forbids Power from being in paid accommodation with Lean; using any threatening or abusive language towards Lean; using any violence against any person; entering Belgrave Road in Aylesbury; entering any hotel in Aylesbury, High Wycombe, or Hemel Hempstead, unless placed there for emergency housing by the council or a recognised housing provider; and failing to obey any instructions given by police officers or Police Community Support Officers."
Investigating officer Police constable Glen Crosland, of the Neighbourhood Policing Team said: "It is with great reluctance that Thames Valley Police has had to resort to such extreme measures to protect the public and protect Tina Lean and Jamie Power from each other.
"However, despite offers of support, Lean and Power have refused to engage.
"The force has received numerous reports of anti-social behaviour carried out by both Lean and Power, from members of the public, business owners, NHS staff, and other emergency service personnel.
"These reports include Lean and Power calling emergency services, when there was no support needed, as well as being abusive and often violent behaviour towards the public and each other."
