Need Protection from Domestic Violence? We Can Help You Obtain an Injunction.

If you’re experiencing domestic abuse or fear for your safety, Florida law allows you to seek immediate protection. A Domestic Violence Injunction, also known as an Injunction for Protection Against Domestic Violence, is a legal order that can provide crucial safeguards—keeping you and your children safe from harm.

At Craig A. Vigodsky, P.A., we understand how urgent and emotionally charged these situations can be. We’re here to guide you through the process of obtaining an injunction, ensuring you understand your options and helping you secure the protection you need.

What is a Domestic Violence Injunction?

A Domestic Violence Injunction is a court order designed to protect you from someone who has hurt or threatened you. This legal order can:

• Prevent the abuser from coming near you: It can order the abuser to stay away from your home, work, or other places you frequent.
• Temporarily change custody arrangements: It can grant you temporary custody of your children to ensure their safety.
• Require the abuser to pay temporary support: This might include child support or spousal support.
• Provide access to shelters or support services: In cases of abuse, the injunction can help you get connected to a local shelter or treatment programs.

Once an injunction is granted, the abuser faces serious penalties if they violate the order, including arrest and criminal charges.

How to File for a Domestic Violence Injunction

The process begins by filing a petition with the court. This petition asks for basic information about you, the person you’re seeking protection from, and the details of the abuse or threats you’ve experienced.

While it’s helpful to provide as much information as possible, don’t worry if you don’t have all the details—such as the person’s exact address or workplace—particularly in cases involving harassment or stalking.

Can an Injunction Protect You in Your Home?

Yes, a Domestic Violence Injunction can protect you in your home, even if the home is shared with or solely owned by the abuser. To be granted exclusive use and possession of the home, you’ll need to meet certain criteria, such as having no other place to stay or lacking the financial means to leave the residence.
