FAQ
If you have been a victim of domestic violence, stalking, repeat, dating or sexual violence, you can file for a restraining order through the Clerk of Court at the Broward County Courthouse, 201 Southeast 6th Street, West Wing, Room 02140, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The specific elements you need to prove to get a restraining order vary from state to state, but in general, you need to show: A specific instance or instances of abuse or harassment (such as sexual assault by an intimate partner) The threat of violence or of further abusive behavior or harassment.
If the judge decides that there was abuse and that there is also a credible threat to the plaintiff's safety, a final order of protection will be granted and will last for up to one year.
After the hearing, a judge can issue a protective order that lasts up to 18 months, and can later be renewed after a hearing in front of a judge. The parts of the protective order that tell the abuser to not abuse, harass, or interfere with you can last forever.
A restraining order is a court order requiring a person to do (or not do) certain things. In the context of online abuse, a restraining order prevents the perpetrator from further contacting and harassing the victim.
Repeat Violence: In order to obtain this type of injunction, the applicant must be a victim of repeat violence by the respondent. The definition of repeat violence under Florida law is that there must be at least two incidents of violence or stalking, at least one of which occurred during the previous six months.
