Florida Family Law Domestic Violence Repeat

Even if the court does not issue a restraining order (or if there has not been a criminal trial at all) you can make an application for a protective injunction.

An injunction is a Court order prohibiting a person from taking a particular action (a prohibitory injunction) or requiring them to take a particular action (a mandatory injunction).This is a temporary injunction, which is usually granted pending a further hearing or until a full trial of the dispute.

Each party may bring witnesses to testify for them at the hearing. The judge may issue a final, or permanent injunction after a hearing with both parties. Unless it is for a certain time, an injunction stays in effect until the court changes it. There are penalties if respondent violates the injunction.

Definition: An injunction is a court order requiring a person to do or cease doing a specific action.Choosing whether to grant temporary injunctive relief is up to the discretion of the court. Permanent injunctions are issued as a final judgment in a case, where monetary damages will not suffice.

Repeat violence restraining order is given to an offender who repeats a domestic violence offense within six (6) months of a previous and similar crime. A person can petition for a repeat violence restriction order if they feel that being in contact with you, exposes them to danger.

An application for an interim injunction must usually be supported by evidence. This will usually be in the form of a witness statement or affidavit including all material facts of which the Court should be made aware, and attaching relevant documents.
