Looking To File a Restraining Order?

A restraining order is a court order that is designed to protect a person from being harassed, threatened, or harmed by another individual. When someone violates the terms of a restraining order, they can be charged with a crime.

In Florida, there are two types of restraining orders that can be put in place: domestic violence injunctions and non-domestic violence injunctions. Domestic violence injunctions are typically put in place when there has been a history of physical or sexual abuse between two people who have a close relationship, such as spouses, former spouses, parents, children, or persons who are currently dating or have dated in the past. Non-domestic violence injunctions are typically put in place when there has been harassment, stalking, or cyberstalking.

If someone violates the terms of a domestic violence injunction, they can be charged with a first-degree misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. If someone violates the terms of a non-domestic violence injunction, they can be charged with a second-degree misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.

In both cases, if the person who violates the restraining order does so with the intent to harassing, threaten, or harm the victim, they can be charged with a felony, which is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

If you have been served with a restraining order, it is important that you take it seriously and follow the terms exactly. If you violate the restraining order, you could be facing serious criminal penalties.If you have been accused of violating a restraining order, you should contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to discuss your case. An attorney can help you understand the charges against you and work to build a strong defense.

The worst legal consequences of violation of a restraining order is usually a combination of fines and jail time, but this will vary from state to state. In some states, the penalties are more severe if there is a history of domestic violence or if the victim was particularly vulnerable.

In Florida, for example, first-time offenders can be fined up to $1000 and sentenced to up to one year in jail. If the offender has a prior conviction for domestic violence or stalking, however, the maximum fine increases to $5000 and the maximum jail sentence increases to five years.

If you have been served with a restraining order, it is important that you take it seriously and comply with its terms. Violating a restraining order can have serious legal consequences, so make sure you understand what you need to do to avoid them.

When a person files for a restraining order in Florida, the following steps will take place:

1. The petitioner (the person filing for the restraining order) will file a petition with the court. This petition must allege that the respondent (the person against whom the restraining order is filed) has committed an act of domestic violence.
2. The court will then set a hearing date for the petition. At this hearing, both the petitioner and respondent will have an opportunity to present evidence and testimony.
3. After considering all of the evidence, the court will decide whether or not to grant the restraining order. If the restraining order is granted, it will be effective immediately and will remain in effect for a period of one year.
4. The respondent will be served with the restraining order and will be required to abide by its terms. If the respondent violates the terms of the restraining order, he or she may be subject to arrest and prosecution.

If you are a victim of domestic violence, it is important to know that there are legal options available to you. A restraining order may be able to provide you with the protection you need from your abuser. If you have any questions about the process of obtaining a restraining order in Florida, you should consult with an experienced attorney at Kemp Ruge and Green who can advise you of your rights and help you through the legal process.

In order to file for a restraining order against your spouse or someone who lives in your home, you must be able to prove that you have been a victim of domestic violence. Domestic violence can include physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. If you are able to prove that you have been a victim of domestic violence, you may be granted a restraining order that will require the abuser to stay away from you and have no contact with you. The restraining order may also require the abuser to move out of your home and not return. If the abuser violates the terms of the restraining order, he or she may be arrested and charged with a crime. If you are granted a restraining order, it is important to keep a copy of the order with you at all times and to call the police if the abuser violates the terms of the order.

– The respondent has committed domestic violence against the petitioner or the petitioner’s immediate family member.
– There is a credible threat of violence by the respondent against the petitioner or the petitioner’s immediate family member.
– The respondent has committed stalking, cyberstalking, or cyberharassment against the petitioner.
– The respondent has engaged in dating violence against the petitioner.
– A minor child is living in the household of either party and the respondent has committed domestic violence against a person who resides in that household.

Judges may also consider any other relevant factors when making a decision about whether to grant a restraining order. If the judge grants the restraining order, they will sign it and give it to law enforcement to serve on the respondent. The respondent will then be given a copy of the order and be served with notice of the hearing date. If the respondent does not show up for the hearing, the order will still go into effect.

The judge can also grant a temporary ex parte order if they feel that there is an immediate and present danger of domestic violence, stalking, cyberstalking, cyberharassment, dating violence, or sexual violence. This order will go into effect immediately and last until the full hearing can take place. The respondent will be served with notice of the full hearing at the time they are served with notice of the ex parte order.

There are two types of stalking in Florida: cyberstalking and stalking.

Cyberstalking is when someone stalks you online. This can happen through email, social media, or text messages.

Stalking is when someone follows you or contacts you in a way that makes you feel scared or unsafe. This can happen in person, by phone, or through the mail. In order to obtain a restraining order for stalking, you must file a petition with the clerk of court in the county where you reside. The clerk will provide you with the necessary forms and instructions. Once the petition is filed, a judge will review it and determine whether or not there is probable cause to believe that you are being stalked. If the judge finds probable cause, he or she will issue a temporary restraining order (TRO).

The respondent (the person accused of stalking) will be served with the TRO and a notice of hearing. The hearing will be held within 15 days of the TRO being issued. At the hearing, both parties will have an opportunity to present evidence and testimony. The judge will then decide whether or not to issue a final restraining order (FRO).

If the judge issues an FRO, it will remain in effect for up to one year. It can be renewed for additional one-year periods if necessary. The FRO will order the respondent to stay away from you, your home, your workplace, and your children’s schools. It will also prohibit the respondent from contacting you in any way, including by phone, email, or social media. Violation of an FRO is a crime in Florida and can result in arrest and imprisonment.

If you are a victim of cyber-stalking and believe that you are in danger of harm, you should contact your local police department or sheriff’s office immediately. You can also file for a restraining order through your local courthouse. To do so, you will need to complete a petition detailing the harassment you have experienced and why you believe you need protection. Once the petition is filed, a judge will review it and decide whether or not to issue a restraining order.

A restraining order, also known as a protective order, is a legal document issued by a court that orders an individual to stop harassing, threatening, or otherwise harming another individual. A restraining order can provide protection for victims of cyber-stalking by ordering the stalking to cease and preventing the stalker from having any further contact with the victim. In some cases, a restraining order may also require the stalker to surrender any firearms or other weapons in their possession.

If you have been issued a restraining order, it is important to keep a copy of the order with you at all times and to notify law enforcement if the stalker violates the terms of the order. Violating a restraining order is a crime in most states, and violators can be arrested and prosecuted. If you have any questions about restraining orders or other legal options available to you, you should speak with an attorney.
