Legal Overview
How Domestic Violence Injunctions Work
Florida courts take these cases seriously and move fast. Judges review allegations, issue temporary orders when needed, and schedule a full hearing to decide if the injunction should remain in place.
Grounds for an Injunction
A petition must show threats, harassment, stalking, physical harm, or imminent danger.
Temporary & Final Orders
A temporary injunction can be granted without a hearing. Final orders are decided after both parties present evidence.
Impact on Custody & Housing
Injunctions can affect time-sharing, child exchanges, and who stays in the home.
Modifications & Enforcement
Orders can be enforced, challenged, extended, or dissolved based on new facts or violations.
