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.
Once a restraining order is issued, it becomes a matter of public record, accessible to potential employers, landlords, and others conducting background checks. A restraining order may appear on a person's record even if they were never charged with or convicted of a criminal offense.
The term "public record" is not limited to traditional written documents. "Tapes, photographs, films, sound recordings, data processing software, or other material, regardless of the physical form, characteristics, or means of transmission" can all constitute public records.
The restraining order itself has an expiration date. So if you have a copy of the order you would know. If you do not have a copy then you can go to the courthouse where the case is being handled and ask to look at the court file or ask to get a copy of the order.
Florida Injunctions for Protection. An injunction (sometimes referred to as a restraining order) is a court order that tells one person to stay away from and not contact another person. Unless the court order says otherwise, this means no contact by phone, email, text messages, letter, in person, or other method.
You will have to re-open the case in Broward County Circuit Court, 201 SE th St, and file a motion to dissolve it. Normally, you will have to go before the issuing Judge following all legal requirements and procedures that an attorney should handle.
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.
Please Note: Injunction for Protection Forms need to be filed in person or via the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal. For more information call (727) 464-7000.
Your affidavit should say when and how the defendant abused you and why you are afraid of the defendant. Start with the most recent incident that is making you afraid. Often, the first question that a judge will ask you is what happened that day that made you come into court to ask for a restraining order.
