Daytona Beach Injunctions Laywer
Helping Secure Injunctions in Florida
An injunction is a court order which prevents one person from doing something harmful to another. In some cases, one may petition for an injunction based on past behavior to prevent said behavior from occurring again. In other cases, someone may petition for an injunction out of concern for their safety or well-being, and to prevent certain actions from occurring at any point in the future.
It is a sad reality, but when divorce proceedings turn volatile, filing for an injunction may be the logical next step. This is why you should consider hiring a Daytona Beach family law attorney from the firm of Buckmaster & Ellzey for assistance in either securing or fighting an injunction. At Buckmaster & Ellzey, we have the resources and experience to help protect you against a spiteful and potentially dangerous spouse. However, we will also fight to make sure your former partner does not use the injunction process to prevent you from living your life.

Understanding Injunctions
In the state of Florida, civil injunctions are also known as restraining orders. There are two types of parties involved in the filing process for restraining orders/civil injunctions, the petitioner and the respondent.
Petitioners may file for either a preliminary or permanent injunction against a respondent. Preliminary injunctions are filed for in cases where no harm has come to the petitioner yet, but they have received threats or have reason to believe they may be harmed in the future. This type of injunction is more common in divorce proceedings, and is usually put in place for anywhere between one month and a year at a time. In many cases, premilitary injunctions are filed by a petitioner to give the respondent time to change their behavior.
However, in cases where the petitioner has already suffered harm at the hands of the respondent, or has a reason to believe the respondent will not change their dangerous or threatening behavior in the future, they may be able to secure a permanent injunction. This kind of injunction remains in place until further notice. To invalidate a permanent injunction, either the petitioner or respondent must file a petition with the court. For this petition to be successful, significant change in the behavior or circumstances of either party must be demonstrated.
The 5 different types of protective civil injunctions available in the state of Florida are:
- Domestic violence injunctions
- Sexual violence injunctions
- Dating violence injunctions
- Repeat violence injunctions
- Stalking injunctions

Conversely, being falsely accused of this behavior can have devastating consequences as well, affecting everything from where you live to whether you are allowed to see your children.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Differences Between a Misdemeanor and a Felony?Generally, misdemeanors are considered minor offenses. The fines for them will be relatively small and any time spent in jail will be in terms of weeks or months, not years. A felony conviction can result in steep fines, probation, parole and prison sentences for years. They can remain on your permanent record and may adversely affect future educational and employment opportunities. With the assistance of an attorney who is willing to aggressively defend your rights, felony charges can sometimes be reduced to misdemeanors.
-
What Happens Now That I’ve Been Charged With an Offense?The first step will be what is known as an arraignment. A judge will tell you the charges against you and there are many decisions that will need to be made at this time, such as how you will plea to the charges, what bail will be set at and others. We understand that facing criminal charges can be tough and would like you to take advantage of our experience to help you successfully navigate through the criminal justice system.
-
What Is the Difference Between Contested and Uncontested Divorce?There are two types of divorce in Daytona Beach: contested and uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce is typically preferred because they can usually be completed with far less hassle and in far less time. However, to go through the uncontested divorce process, the couple must reach an agreement on all significant divorce-related issues. These issues include: • Property division • Debt allocation • Alimony • Child support • Child custody • Visitation When there is disagreement over one or more of these issues, the couple will need to go through the contested divorce process. In such cases, the couple will either need to hire a divorce mediator to help them through the negotiation process or have the family court decide for them.
