FAQ
An injunction can never be sealed or expunged. It is not a criminal court record subject to the sealing and expungement laws. Thus, it remains permanently. A restraining order is public record and can be accessed by employers, and those conducting background searches.
Temporary orders last 15 days, while final orders can last six months, one year, or indefinitely, depending on the court's ruling. Does a restraining order show up on a background check in Florida? Yes. Even though restraining orders are civil matters, they can appear in public court records and background checks.
Do restraining orders show up on a criminal background check in Florida? Restraining orders themselves are civil in nature and generally don't appear on a criminal background check. However, if you violate the terms of the order and are criminally charged, the violation will show up on your record.
Civil injunctions in Florida are public record, but are typically not easily accessible to the general public to protect the privacy of the petitioner. Section 741.30 of the Florida Statutes allows the petitioner for a domestic violence injunction to provide his or her address to the court in a confidential filing.
A significant change in circumstances, such as improved behavior, completion of anger management or counseling programs, or evidence that the risk of violence has diminished, may provide grounds for seeking the dismissal of a restraining order.
Lack of Jurisdiction The respondent can argue that the court does not have jurisdiction to issue a restraining order. This defense can be raised, for instance, if the alleged incidents of domestic violence or harassment did not occur within the jurisdiction of the court.
Using the facts of the incident only, keep your statement brief and to the point. Briefly describe the most recent incident of abuse and/or threats of abuse or other behaviors. Focus on the actual behavior. Do not include prior incidents, (that will be the next paragraph).
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. The plaintiff will be directed to go to the clerks counter to wait for the order.
Permanent protective order - These orders are issued after the court has gone through all the legal proceedings and reviewed all evidence. Permanent protective orders can be life-long standing orders that the accused person must obey.
The burden of proof is on the protected party to prove to the court by a preponderance of the evidence that there is a reasonable apprehension of future abuse.
