If the judge decides the sworn allegations contained in the paperwork meet the requirements of Florida law for the issuance of an injunction, the judge will enter a Temporary Injunction, which will be valid for 15 days.
Unlike criminal cases, where the prosecution must prove guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt," the standard of proof for domestic violence injunctions is "preponderance of the evidence." This means the petitioner must show that it is more likely than not that domestic violence occurred or is likely to occur.

See: Rollins v. Rollins, 336 So.
An injunction is a legal ruling by a judge that mandates an individual or other entity to either stop or start some action. The three main instances of an injunction are restraining orders, preliminary (temporary) injunctions, and permanent injunctions.
Legal Standards: To obtain a preliminary injunction, the requesting party must demonstrate: The likelihood of success on the merits of the case. That irreparable harm is likely to occur if the injunction is not granted. The balance of harms weighs in favor of the injunction being issued.
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 ...
