Your Domestic Violence Attorney for a Florida Injunction
for Protection (Restraining Order)
Virtually everyone has the same hopes and
dreams for their relationships. Upon meeting someone for the
first time, we all desire a relationship filled with kindness,
consideration, and peace. Where human beings are concerned,
however, there are going to be disagreements, and these disagreements
do not always have the most desirable outcome. Whether it’s
within a marriage, dating relationship, friendship, or family,
even the most easygoing people may come across times when
they worry about being a domestic
violence victim.
As a resident of Florida, if you believe there
is an imminent danger of domestic violence, or if you have
been a victim of domestic violence, you may apply for an injunction
for protection. Often, an injunction for protection is also
called a restraining order. When you apply for an injunction
for protection or restraining order, you would be named the
Petitioner. The person accused in the injunction
for protection or restraining order is called the Respondent.
It is advisable that both the petitioner and
the respondent consult with a Florida domestic violence attorney
to learn their rights. The Florida domestic violence attorneys
from Tinny, Meyer & Piccarreto, P.A., have years of experience
in domestic violence laws. We consult with petitioners and
respondents in Pasco County, Pinellas County, Hillsborough
County, and other parts of Florida.
As the petitioner, you may apply for an injunction
for protection (or restraining order) in Florida to protect
yourself, your children, and others in the household. In addition
to domestic violence, injunctions for protection may be filed
to prevent repeat violence, dating violence, and sexual violence.
