In Florida, Injunctions are orders issued by the civil court to protect an individual from violence, the threat of violence, harassment, and stalking. In Florida, an injunction provides a fast means of protection for individuals who feel threatened or endangered. Injunctions are sometimes also referred to as restraining orders. An injunction can be implemented even if an individual hasn’t been arrested, charged with, or convicted of a crime.
An Injunction may require the Respondent to stay a certain distance from the Petitioner’s residence, vehicle, workplace, school, and other places specified in the order. Additionally, the Respondent may be prohibited from contacting the Petitioner through any mode of communication (e.g., writing, e-mail, phone calls, social media platforms). If there are children involved the Court may decide a time-sharing plan for contact between the Respondent and the child(ren), as well as financial support issues.
