Fighting a Restraining Order in Florida
When a person in the state of Florida feels that they have been abused, stalked, or harassed, they may petition with the courts for an injunction known as an “order of protection” which can require their alleged abuser to cease certain behavior, such as calling, texting, or coming within a certain proximity the person who requested the order or their family. If the terms of these orders are violated, the offending party can face serious criminal consequences such as jail time, expensive fines, and further sanctions.
If someone is seeking a restraining order against you, you have a right to be notified of the request, to have a court hearing, and to defend yourself. Our firm can represent your interests and provide aggressive advocacy you need to maximize your chances of securing a favorable outcome. In the meantime, however, it is vital you do the following:
- Obey the temporary order: If you are served with a temporary restraining order, be sure to follow all of its terms. Even if you feel that you have a valid defense, violating a temporary order can expose you to criminal penalties and will greatly hinder your chances of overturning the order.
- Get organized: Begin gathering as much evidence as you can related to the incident cited in the petitioner’s request. This can include clothing, photographs, videos, objects, voicemails, text messages, and any other sort of documents that can prove what happened. Likewise, put together a list of any witnesses that may be able to provide testimony to your innocence.
It is not uncommon for individuals to seek restraining orders over unfounded claims as a way to get back at their spouse or as an attempt to gain the upper hand during divorce. We can examine the evidence surrounding your situation and present relevant arguments to refute the claims against you.
