During
the course of a divorce, the end of a relationship
or other domestic situation, circumstances sometimes
arise which cause an individual to fear for the
safety of their children or themselves.
An domestic injunction, also commonly called
an "order of protection" or a "restraining order",
is a court order typically ordered due to domestic
violence. A restraining order can also be ordered
due to repeat violence.
Basic elements necessary for a domestic violence
injunction, or order of protection 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.
According to Florida Statutes, Domestic violence
means an assault, aggravated assault, battery,
