How could a restraining order affect me?

In Florida, restraining orders are officially known as Injunctions for Protection against Domestic Violence, or just injunctions. A temporary injunction may be taken out against you without a trial or even your prior knowledge. However, you cannot be named in a final injunction, which can last indefinitely, without a chance to defend yourself in court.

If granted, an injunction may require you to move out of your home, avoid contact with your children, undergo counseling or rehabilitation, and make spousal support payments. A judge may also issue any other orders that he or she considers necessary.
