Panama City, Florida Attorneys Practicing in Domestic Violence Injunctions

 

Domestic Violence Injunctions are used to protect family members or relatives that are victims of Domestic Violence from the perpetrators of Domestic Violence. The general definition of Domestic Violence is an assault and/or battery or stalking which does physical harm to a family member of the Domestic Violence perpetrator. This allows the victim of Domestic Violence to gain protection from Domestic Violence through the issuance of a Domestic Violence Injunction. The protection extended under a Domestic Violence Injunction can also protect spouses, former spouses, blood relatives and relatives through marriage or individuals that live together as a family unit.

If you or anybody you know has been victimized by domestic violence you need to seek protection now and our lawyers are here to help. A petition for domestic violence injunction can be filed by any victim and the court may enter a temporary order to protect the victim until a hearing can be held on the matter. The court order of domestic violence injunction is issued upon the perpetrator and could order the perpetrator to stay away from the victim, make the aggressor move out of the residence, cease stalking the victim, pay temporary child support and alimony, and grant temporary child custody and visitation.
