Restraining Orders in Sarasota, Bradenton, and Venice

Injunctions are also known as restraining orders. In family court injunctions are court orders that prevent or limit one person from having contact with another person  often when there are allegations of violence.

In order to qualify for an injunction, the person requesting the injunction one must meet the definition of a family member, have dated the other party or been the victim of repeat violence. Additionally, the person requesting the injunction must prove that they have been the victim of violence at the hands of the other person, or have a reasonable belief that they will become the victim of violence if an injunction is not entered.
