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 order of protection, also commonly called
a restraining order or domestic injunction,
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,
