Orders of Protection in Florida

A court may place a restraining order on you following an accusation of stalking, domestic violence, and harassment based on reasonable grounds. Ultimately, the court needs to believe the victim’s well-being and life are in danger to necessitate issuing a restraining order on someone. Victims of domestic violence and other forms of assault can seek an injunction for court protection as per Florida Statutes §741.30.

Sometimes, a court may also grant temporary injunction ex parte if they believe there is an immediate need to offer protection. They will do this without entering into a complete hearing process, which makes it essential to retain the services of a skilled criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.

Consequences of Violating a Restraining Order

A restraining order is a legal court-issued order forbidding the subject to contact the individual who applied for the order. You may be looking at time spent in jail and significant fines if you are charged with violating a restraining order.
