Orange County Florida Injunction Lawyer:
Whether you need an injunction to prevent someone from having contact with
you, or you are disputing an injunction being issued against you, the Wilson
Law Firm can help you. In certain situations, injunctions can help provide a
level of protection for an individual who has been the victim of violence, but
for anyone who has one established against them, an injunction has legal
consequences when established and criminal consequences should they
violate the conditions of the injunction.
Any person who is either the victim of domestic violence or has reasonable
cause to believe he or she is in imminent danger of domestic violence may
file a petition for an injunction for protection. If the Court feels there is an
immediate danger based on what is stated in the petition, it will enter a
temporary injunction.
The Court's issuance of a temporary injunction is based only upon it having heard one person's version of events.
The Court will set a hearing where both the petitioner and the respondent will have the opportunity to testify and be
heard in regards to whether an injunction is warranted in the case.
If you have a injunction case or issue you would like to discuss, Call the Wilson Law Firm Today at (407) 648-5255 to
speak with an experienced Orlando divorce lawyer about your individual situation. The following section contains
some general information about dissolutions of marriage in Florida.
Injunctions - In Domestic cases, an injunction may involve issues regarding possession and exclusive use of the
home, child custody, visitation and support. Unfortunately, sometimes a party may unjustly seek an injunction prior to
or during a divorce in an attempt to gain an advantage over the other party in regards to these issues.
In certain cases, the Court can require the respondent to participate in treatment, intervention, and/or counseling
services. An injunction may also require the respondent to surrender their firearms.
A person who willfully violates an injunction for protection against domestic violence issued pursuant to Florida
Statute 741.30 commits a misdemeanor of the first degree punishable by up to 1 year in the county jail. In certain
cases involving repeated repeatedly harassment or stalking after the issuance of an injunction, the person may be
found guilty of aggravated stalking which is a third degree felony punishable by up to 5 years in state prison.
In determining whether a petitioner has reasonable cause to believe he or she is in imminent danger of becoming a
victim of domestic violence, Florida Statute 741.30 states that the Court shall consider and evaluate all relevant factors
alleged in the petition, including, but not limited to:
1) The history between the petitioner and the respondent, including threats, harassment, stalking, and physical
abuse.
2) Whether the respondent has attempted to harm the petitioner or family members or individuals closely associated
with the petitioner.
3) Whether the respondent has threatened to conceal, kidnap, or harm the petitioner's child(ren).
4) Whether the respondent has intentionally injured or killed a family pet.
5) Whether the respondent has used, or has threatened to use, against the petitioner any weapons such as guns or
knives.
6) Whether the respondent has physically restrained the petitioner from leaving the home or calling law enforcement.
7) Whether the respondent has a criminal history involving violence or the threat of violence.
8) The existence of a verifiable order of protection issued previously.
9) Whether the respondent has destroyed personal property, including, but not limited to, telephones or other
communications equipment, clothing, or other items belonging to the petitioner.
10) Whether the respondent engaged in any other behavior or conduct that leads the petitioner to have reasonable
cause to believe that he or she is in imminent danger of becoming a victim of domestic violence.
Other Types of Injunctions - If a person does not meet the criteria for a Domestic Violence Injunction, they may
need to seek protection through a Petition for Protection against Repeat Violence, a Petition for Protection against
Dating Violence, or a Petition for Protection against Sexual Violence.
Note: Injunctions usually involve allegations of violence which may be prosecuted as criminal acts. In some cases it
may be in a parties best interest not to provide testimony which could later be used against them in a criminal case.
