Someone has filed an Injunction for Protection Against Domestic Violence against you in the Orlando, Florida Area or the Lake Mary, Florida Area. What are the possible consequences if an Injunction for Protection Against Domestic Violence is issued against you? There are many possible consequences. Here are a few:
- An injunction may require no contact or supervised contact with your children.
- Your spouse may be granted exclusive use and possession of the marital residence. That means you have to find a new place to live.
- You have to stay away from your spouse.
- You are to have no contact with your spouse.
- You may be ordered to pay child support.
Further, you are prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition. It could affect your current job or future employment opportunities. Whether you are able to enter the military could be affected. If you have a professional license, that could be affected. Admissions to schools, colleges, and universities may be affected.
Final Judgments for Injunctions for Protection Against Domestic Violence are enforceable in all states and US territories under the Full Faith and Credit Clause.
These are all serious consequences. That is why it is important to avoid letting yourself be in a situation where your spouse could call the authorities against you. If you are concerned about that, you can call local law enforcement to escort you to your house to retrieve your personal items to avoid a possible confrontation that could end in an injunction. Or you could have relatives or friends accompany you, so there are witnesses. That way, you avoid a he/she said versus he/she said if the police are called. If you have a rocky relationship with a spouse, it is easier to be safer than sorry. You should err on the side of caution. You should avoid confrontation at all costs because the negative consequences of your actions could be devastating to your future.
