Tampa Domestic Violence Injunction Lawyers, Petition And Defense

Last updated on October 22, 2026

A Florida Injunction Is A Civil Case

It can give the petitioner a stay-away order, temporary timesharing, exclusive use of a home, and support. It can take the respondent’s firearms, lock them out of the house, and become the first exhibit in the divorce. Westchase Law, P.A., files these petitions. We also defend them.

If You Need Protection

We prepare the petition under section 741.30, Florida Statutes, appear at the temporary­-injunction review, and try the final hearing. A temporary injunction lasts a fixed period of no more than 15 days; a final injunction remains in effect until it is modified or dissolved. Dating violence, repeat violence, sexual violence, and stalking injunctions under Chapter 784, Florida Statutes, are handled the same way when those facts fit.

If You Were Served

A temporary injunction is not a finding that the allegations are true. We move to dissolve or modify, we prepare you for the final hearing, and we try the case. We also handle the related timesharing, exclusive-use, and support issues so the injunction does not silently decide the family case.

If the other side is also posting, texting, or sending images, that is a separate defamation or revenge-porn file. We will open it.
