Domestic violence encompasses acts of physical harm, threats, or psychological abuse within familial or intimate relationships. Florida law provides protective measures through injunctions, emergency orders, and criminal enforcement to address immediate threats and prevent further harm. These cases require rapid legal intervention and precise procedural compliance.

Victims may seek legal protection through a petition for an injunction, which can lead to court-imposed restrictions on contact, custody, and residence. Allegations may also intersect with ongoing family law matters, affecting custody determinations and visitation rights. Accusations of domestic violence can have lasting legal consequences, including criminal charges.
