Florida Domestic Violence Injunctions
There are two types of domestic violence injunctions in Florida. You can petition the court for an Injunction for Protection against Domestic Violence as permitted under Florida Statute § 741.30. To qualify for this type of order you must be related to the abuser, live with the abuser or share children with the abuser. You must also have a reasonable belief that an act of violence is going to be committed against you or an act of violence was already committed against you. If granted, the protective order acts like a restraining order, limiting the contact and interaction between the victim and the abuser. The injunction restrains the abuser from committing further acts of domestic violence.
If your relationship does not qualify for the Protection against Domestic Violence injunction, other options, such as an Injunction for Protection against Repeat Violence, Sexual Violence or Dating Violence under F.S. §784.046, are also available. The relationship requirement is less strict. If granted, the injunction operates in the same manner by restraining future domestic violence against the person who sought the injunction.
