What is Domestic Violence in Florida?

Domestic violence encompasses a wide range of abusive behaviors, including physical violence, emotional abuse, stalking, harassment, and financial control. Under Florida law, domestic violence may occur between spouses, former spouses, dating partners, family members, or even roommates.

Domestic violence has serious legal consequences, and Florida courts offer protections for victims to prevent further abuse. At Fanash Family Law, we provide the guidance you need to understand your options, help you file for protective orders, and represent your interests in any legal proceedings.

Legal Services for Domestic Violence Victims

Our attorneys at Fanash Family Law provide a range of services to protect and support victims of domestic violence in Orlando. We help you understand your legal options, make informed decisions, and take action to ensure your safety. Our domestic violence services include:

  • Filing for Restraining Orders (Injunctions): We assist clients in filing restraining orders, also called injunctions, which legally prevent abusers from contacting or approaching you. Injunctions provide immediate protection to help create a safer environment.

  • Temporary Emergency Orders: In urgent situations, we can help you secure a temporary restraining order for immediate protection while awaiting a full court hearing.

  • Domestic Violence Divorce Representation: If you’re seeking a divorce due to domestic violence, our attorneys provide comprehensive representation to protect your safety, financial interests, and parental rights.

  • Child Custody and Protection: Domestic violence often has serious implications for child custody. We work to protect your children by securing custody arrangements that provide a safe and stable environment.

  • Support with Related Criminal Cases: If criminal charges are brought against the abuser, we can support you by helping you navigate court proceedings, attend hearings, and understand your rights within the Florida criminal justice system.

Understanding Florida’s Domestic Violence Injunctions

An injunction, also known as a restraining order, is a legal order that restricts an abuser’s actions and provides legal protection for victims of domestic violence. Florida offers several types of injunctions based on the nature of the relationship and the specific circumstances of abuse:

  • Domestic Violence Injunction: Available for individuals who are at risk of imminent harm by a spouse, partner, or close family member.

  • Repeat Violence Injunction: For victims who have experienced at least two incidents of violence by the same individual, separated by time.

  • Dating Violence Injunction: Designed to protect victims in abusive dating relationships or relationships that have recently ended.

  • Stalking Injunction: For victims facing repeated harassment, either in person or online.

At Fanash Family Law, we will guide you through the process of filing for an injunction, prepare the necessary documents, and represent you in any court hearings. We prioritize your safety and will work to ensure you receive the legal protection you deserve.

  • What is the difference between a contested and uncontested divorce in Orlando?
    A contested divorce occurs when both parties cannot agree on key issues, requiring the court’s intervention. An uncontested divorce is when both spouses agree on all aspects, including asset division, child custody, and support, which allows for a quicker and smoother process.
  • How long does the divorce process take in Orlando?
    The length of the divorce process in Orlando depends on the complexity of the case and whether it’s contested or uncontested. An uncontested divorce may take a few months, while a contested divorce can take significantly longer, especially if court appearances are required.
  • How is child custody determined in Orlando?
    Child custody in Orlando is determined based on the best interests of the child, following Florida law. Courts consider various factors, such as the parents' ability to provide a stable home environment, the child’s relationship with each parent, and each parent’s ability to meet the child’s emotional and physical needs.
  • Can spousal support be modified after the divorce in Orlando?
    Yes, spousal support can be modified post-divorce if there is a substantial change in circumstances, such as a change in income or financial situation for either party. This is done through filing a request with the Orlando family court.
  • How are assets divided during a divorce in Orlando?
    In Orlando, assets are divided based on equitable distribution, meaning they are split fairly, though not necessarily equally. Factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse’s financial contributions, and future earning potential are considered when dividing assets.
  • Do I need an attorney for an uncontested divorce in Orlando?
    While an uncontested divorce is typically simpler, having an Orlando divorce attorney is still recommended to ensure that your agreement is legally sound and protects your rights.
