Call 407.344.3400 to speak with Divorce and Family Law Domestic Violence Lawyer, Steen Brown

There are times when a relationship or marriage ends and one of the parties does not handle the situation in a mature, responsible, or lawful manner. Unstable behaviors, perceived or vocal physical threats, or a prior domestic violence history may cause one or both of the parties to fear for their safety. An individual may request a domestic violence protective order, also commonly referred to as a restraining order if any of the above occurs.

A domestic violence is a court ordered injunction specifying stipulations for an individual to have no contact with the individual or other parties named in the protective court order.

A domestic violence, or order of protection, basically serves two main purposes:

1. To inform the recipient of the restraining order and the legal restrictions which have been ordered against them;
2. To create legal sanctions if the Court's order is violated.
