You can vacate, dismiss, dissolve, modify or change an order of protection against domestic violence, injunction or restraining order, sometimes also called a stay-away order. Once a domestic violence injunction is in place, the only way to remove it is through the court.
Standard of Proof In Florida, a petitioner for an injunction must establish by “preponderance of the evidence” (i.e. greater weight of the evidence) that he or she is either a victim of domestic violence or is in imminent danger of being a victim of domestic violence.
Relief of injunction is an equitable and discretionary remedy. Proceedings for grant of injunction are always discretionary and a court of law shall not grant perpetual injunction in favour of the plaintiff against the right owner if he is a mere trespasser.
An injunction is a court order requiring a person to do or cease doing a specific action. There are three types of injunctions: Permanent injunctions, Temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions.
Permanent injunctions are issued as a final judgment in a case, where monetary damages will not suffice. Failure to comply with an injunction may result in being held in contempt of court, which in turn may result in either criminal or civil liability. See, e.g., Roe v. Wade 410 US 113 (1973).
Process For Obtaining An Injunction A petition (application) for an injunction for protection is available through the Clerk of the Court. You can call the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence at 800-500-1119 or your local domestic violence center for more information on how to proceed.
If your want to lift the injunction, you have to file a Motion to Dismiss the injunctions and set it for hearing in front of the court that issued the injunction. You will have to attend the hearing and explain to the judge the reasons you are no longer in fear of the Respondent and why you want the injunction dropped.
Just because a judge issued a final injunction in your case does not mean they were right. Often times, judges get it wrong or the record is insufficient to uphold a final injunction. Many times injunctions are overturned by the appellate courts for a variety of reasons.
To seek a permanent injunction, the plaintiff must pass the four-step test: (1) that the plaintiff has suffered an irreparable injury; (2) that remedies available at law, such as monetary damages, are inadequate to compensate for the injury; (3) that the remedy in equity is warranted upon consideration of the balance ...
A permanent injunction enjoins the respondent from committing acts of domestic violence and includes other relief the court deems necessary for the petitioner's protection, such as ordering the respondent to: surrender firearms and ammunition and participate in treatment, counseling, or BPI.
