Injunctions for Protection in Florida
Florida law allows a person to petition the court for an injunction for protection against domestic violence, sometimes called a restraining order. An injunction can set terms intended to protect the petitioner, and it can carry serious consequences for the respondent. Because these cases move quickly and the stakes are high on both sides, it helps to have an attorney explain the process.

How an Injunction Affects Family Law Matters
An injunction can overlap with a divorce or a time-sharing case. For example, it may affect where a parent can go and how the parents communicate, and it can be one of the circumstances a court considers when deciding what is in a child's best interest. We help clients understand how an injunction fits with their other family law matters.
