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.
To dissolve a restraining order in Florida, the respondent must prove that the circumstances that granted the injunction no longer exist. If the court considers that the petitioner is no longer in danger, the injunction could be removed. Dissolving a restraining order is up to the judge's discretion.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I beg your honor to please consider my sincere plea to remove the no contact order. You are the one who has the ability to give us, as a family, a second opportunity.
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).
