    The Florida legal system can help you stop abuse and protect you from violence. Everyone deserves to be safe and live without fear of violence. If you are a victim of violence, or if you have reason to believe you will become a victim, report it to the police and ask Florida Rural Legal Services to help you with an injunction.

  • Florida law has different types of injunctions for people who have experienced particular forms of violence, based on various kinds of relationships with their abuser. Florida injunctions include Domestic Violence Injunctions, Dating Violence Injunctions, Repeat Violence Injunctions, Stalking Injunctions, Sexual Violence Injunctions, and Injunction for Protection Against Exploitation of a Vulnerable Adult.
