 When
a marriage deteriorates or is ending, or in relationships of unmarried
partners, situations may come up where tempers flair or the personality and/or
actions of one or both parties pose a perceived physical threat to the other.
Many individuals are subjected to forms of
domestic violence by their spouse, someone they are currently involved with, or
have previously broken off a relationship with. Domestic violence may be
considered to be of a physical, sexual, or mental nature. The perceived threat may be against
you, your children, immediate family members, or you current significant other.
A Domestic Injunction is a Protective Court Order, commonly
referred to as a "Restraining Order", which documents the previous
harmful actions of the aggressor, threats made by the aggressor,
or other perceived danger from another. A Domestic Injunction
may stipulate the restrictions of the aggressor and the limitations
of contact with the protected parties, so ordered by the court
relating to physical, verbal, or electronic
means of contact.

In the
State of Florida,
basic elements necessary for a domestic violence injunction
or order of protection include:
-
Must be between family or household members, even if the aggressor no longer
resides in the household
-
The Petitioner must have been the victim of domestic violence or is in fear
of an imminent attack
-
The sworn petition must allege the existence of domestic violence with
supporting facts
-
Jurisdiction is where the Petitioner currently resides, temporarily resides;
where Respondent resides, and where domestic violence occurred
If the aggressor violates the limitations of a Domestic
Injunction Protective Court Order, he or she may be charged with
a criminal offense. If the individual
whom the Domestic Injunction was granted to protect
intentionally contacts the other party in a manor which causes
the other to be in violation of the domestic order, the domestic
injunction protective court order may be voided. If voided for
this reason, obtaining future domestic injunctions against the
same aggressor may be extremely difficult.
When a
temporary domestic injunction is granted, the order is valid
for 15 days, proving time for a hearing to be scheduled and
conducted to determine if the protective order should be
extended for a specific period of time, indefinitely ordered, or
to allow the temporary domestic injunction to expire.
