 During
the course of a divorce, the end of a relationship
or other domestic situation, circumstances may sometimes
arise that may cause a person to fear for the
safety of minor children, his or her own safety, or
others who reside at the residence.
A domestic injunction, also commonly called
an "order of protection" or a "restraining order",
is a court order typically granted due to threats
that have been made and/or a documented domestic
violence history.
According to Florida Statutes, Domestic violence
is described as any form of assault or battery,
sexual assault or battery, stalking, kidnapping, or
false imprisonment to family or
household member by person who also currently
resides (or previously resided)
in the same single dwelling unit.

Basic elements necessary for a domestic violence
injunction include:
-
Must be between family or household members;
-
The Petitioner must have been the victim of
domestic violence or is in fear of an imminent
attack;
-
The sworn petition must allege the existence of
domestic violence with supporting facts; and
-
Jurisdiction is where the Petitioner currently
resides, temporarily resides; where Respondent
resides, and where domestic violence occurred.
A domestic injunction, or order of
protection, serves two main purposes:
-
To inform the recipient of the restraining order
of the legal restrictions which have been
ordered against them;
-
To create legal sanctions if the Court’s order
is violated.
