Get Legal Guidance From An Experienced Okaloosa County Injunction Lawyer
Domestic violence can include sexual assault, verbal abuse, physical assault, threats, stalking, harassment and other harmful actions. Even before any criminal charges are leveled, you may be facing a restraining order and complications in any family law orders you have established.
At Campbell & Madden, PLLC, we understand the impact of domestic violence cases on families in Okaloosa County. We support petitioners so they can protect their families, and we help respondents address domestic violence allegations.
What You Need To Know About Injunctions
In Florida, a restraining order is called an injunction. However, the term restraining order is still used as well. The hearing that takes place in order to establish a restraining order is called an injunction hearing. There are also different types of injunctions for protection against interpersonal violence:
- Domestic violence
- Dating violence
- Repeat violence
- Sexual violence
- Stalking
These orders can be temporary or permanent. Moreover, individuals can ask to dissolve, modify or extend them, depending on the circumstances.
How We Help Petitioners
In some cases, we represent victims of domestic violence. We can handle all aspects of their situation, from the family law side (dealing with modification of any custody [time-sharing] orders) to the criminal side (assisting in the seeking of charges against the aggressor). Our firm also assists clients who desire to obtain an injunction against a spouse, family member, boyfriend or girlfriend.
How We Help Respondents
If an injunction is granted, your access to your home, your children and some of your property may be limited. You may not be able to go within a certain distance of your home. Our firm assists clients in working to have a restraining order request dismissed so that our clients can see their families and continue living their lives as normally as possible.
