Stuart Restraining Order Attorneys

Helping Clients Pursue Protection from Abuse Through Injunctions

You can seek an injunction for protection (restraining order) if you are a victim of domestic violence. The restraining order is a legal means for keeping you safe from current or threatened abuse. The person who has harmed you will be prohibited from engaging in certain behaviors and may be ordered to take specific actions, such as surrendering firearms. Depending on your situation, the court may grant a temporary restraining order that is effective immediately. Whether you get a temporary restraining order, you will be scheduled for a hearing where you and your abuser may present your cases.

Seeking a restraining order in Stuart can be complicated, emotional, and frightening. You must navigate various steps and submit evidence supporting your arguments that protection from your abuser is warranted. You do not have to go through this alone. A family law attorney can help.

At ADL Law, P.A., our Stuart restraining order lawyers are committed to helping clients request the protection they need from harmful situations. We can assist you at every stage of the process.

How an Injunction Works in Florida

A restraining order legally protects domestic violence victims from continued or future abuse. If a court approves the order, the restrained person (the person the order is issued against) is prohibited from harming, threatening, or stalking the protected individual.

The court may make various other orders on the restrained person, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Staying at least 500 feet away from the protected person’s home, work, school, or other places they frequent
  • Not contacting the protected person
  • Attending counseling, treatment, and/or a batterers’ intervention program
  • Relinquishing firearms
  • Moving out of a home shared with the protected person
  • Paying temporary child support
  • Adhering to a parenting plan

Our restraining order attorneys in Stuart can help you ask for appropriate restrictions for your situation.
