Defense Against Restraining Orders in Florida

A restraining order, technically called an injunction, bars you from having any contact with the alleged victim of domestic abuse. If the victim is a wife or a live-in significant other, you may be ordered to stay out of the home and away from the children. We can educate you about your options for responding to and defending against restraining orders.
