Domestic Violence

Understanding Domestic Violence in Florida

  • Includes physical harm, threats, stalking, harassment, or emotional abuse

  • Can occur between spouses, partners, co-parents, family members, or household members

  • Courts take domestic violence allegations seriously and can act quickly

  • Your safety—and your children’s safety—is the top priority


Types of Injunctions for Protection

Florida allows several types of protective orders, including:

  • Domestic Violence Injunctions

  • Dating Violence Injunctions

  • Stalking/Harassment Injunctions

  • Repeat Violence Injunctions

  • Sexual Violence Injunctions


How Domestic Violence Impacts Divorce & Custody

  • Courts may limit or supervise time-sharing

  • Abuse allegations affect parental decision-making authority

  • Domestic violence can influence alimony or property issues

  • Judges prioritize immediate safety and long-term stability


Common Misconceptions About Domestic Violence Cases

  • “You must show physical injury to get protection.” – Not true; threats and stalking qualify.

  • “The injunction is automatic.” – You must present evidence, even in urgent situations.

  • “Injunctions can’t be defended against.” – False; accused individuals have rights too.

  • “Protective orders are permanent.” – Many are temporary unless extended by the court.


Who Needs an Injunction for Protection?

  • Anyone experiencing threats, violence, or stalking

  • Parents seeking to protect children from danger

  • Individuals leaving or separating from an abusive partner

  • People being harassed by an ex-partner or family member

  • Victims who need immediate court-ordered safety

Frequently Asked Questions

In Florida, all parenting plans are created based on the best interests of the child. If parents agree on a plan, it can be submitted to the court for approval. If they cannot agree, the court will establish the plan after considering factors such as each parent’s involvement, the child’s needs, stability, and each parent’s ability to support a positive relationship with the child.

Yes. Parenting plans can be modified if there is a substantial, unanticipated change in circumstances and the modification is in the child’s best interest. Common reasons include relocation, changes in a parent’s work schedule, or changes in the child’s needs. Hoffman, Larin & Agnetti regularly assists clients in both requesting and opposing modifications.

If a parent fails to comply with the parenting plan, the other parent may file a motion for enforcement with the court. The court can order make‑up time‑sharing, modify the plan, or impose other remedies. Our attorneys can help enforce your rights and ensure the parenting plan is followed.

While it’s possible to create a parenting plan without an attorney, having a family law lawyer ensures the plan is legally enforceable and protects your rights. Hoffman, Larin & Agnetti has decades of experience crafting detailed plans that reduce future disputes and work for both parents and children.
