A restraining order is legally referred to as an “injunction for protection”. This is basically a Court document that orders another party to stop harming another person. “Harm” refers to all forms of abuse, including physical and/or sexual abuse, contact, or even being within a certain distance from a victim.
In the State of Florida, there are several different types of restraining orders, which include the following:
injunctions for protection against domestic violence;
injunctions against repeat, dating, or sexual violence;
injunctions for protection against stalking/cyberstalking, and other
forms of contact;
risk protection orders
Restraining orders can also order another party to do something, such as leaving your home or paying child support. If the abuse violates any restraining order at any time, he or she will be arrested.
