Understanding Protective Orders
In the state of Florida, a Protective Order, also known as a Restraining Order, is a legal document issued by a court to protect individuals from harassment, violence, or stalking. It offers legal protection by prohibiting the individual named in the order from contacting or approaching the protected person.
Protective Orders can be sought by victims of domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault, or other forms of harassment. If you are facing any of these situations, it is crucial to seek legal assistance promptly to ensure your safety and well-being.
Types of Protective Orders
There are different types of Protective Orders available in Florida, depending on the specific circumstances and the level of protection needed. These include:
- Domestic Violence Injunction: This type of order is designed to protect victims of domestic violence. It prohibits the abuser from contacting or approaching the victim and may include other provisions such as temporary custody arrangements or child support.
- Stalking Injunction: If you are a victim of stalking, you can seek a stalking injunction to ensure your safety. This order prevents the stalker from contacting you or coming near you.
- Sexual Violence Injunction: Individuals who have experienced sexual violence can obtain a sexual violence injunction, which offers protection by prohibiting contact with the perpetrator.
- Dating Violence Injunction: Victims of dating violence can seek a dating violence injunction, which aims to protect individuals involved in a dating relationship from further harm.
