Applies to

Florida > All circuits > Injunctions for protection (domestic violence; related procedures govern repeat violence, dating violence, sexual violence, and stalking)

Requirement

File the petition on the approved form with the clerk — no filing fee applies. The court reviews the petition promptly and may grant a temporary injunction ex parte based on the verified allegations. When a temporary injunction issues, it remains effective for a fixed period (generally no more than 15 days) and a full hearing is set before it expires. Appear at the final hearing with evidence and witnesses; failure to appear can dissolve the temporary injunction or end the case.
