Domestic Violence and Divorce in Florida: Seeking Protection and Legal Recourse
Domestic violence is a serious issue that can have devastating consequences for victims and their families. In Florida, victims of domestic violence have legal rights and protections to ensure their safety and well-being. If you're going through a divorce in Florida and are experiencing domestic violence, it's crucial to seek legal help to protect yourself and your children.
Understanding Domestic Violence in Florida
Domestic violence is defined as any act or threat of violence, including physical, sexual, emotional, or psychological abuse, committed by a current or former spouse or partner. In Florida, domestic violence is a serious crime, and victims have the right to seek legal protection through restraining orders and other legal remedies.
The Impact of Domestic Violence on Divorce
Domestic violence can significantly complicate the divorce process. It can create emotional turmoil, financial instability, and safety concerns for victims and their children. If you're experiencing domestic violence, it's essential to prioritize your safety and seek legal advice from an experienced divorce attorney who understands the complexities of domestic violence cases.
Seeking Legal Protection in Florida
If you're a victim of domestic violence in Florida, you have several legal options to protect yourself:
- Injunction for Protection: An injunction for protection is a court order that prohibits the abuser from contacting or harassing you. This can include orders to stay away from your home, workplace, and children.
- Temporary Custody and Visitation Orders: If you have children, you may be able to obtain temporary custody and visitation orders to protect them from the abuser.
- Division of Marital Property: In a divorce, the court will divide your marital property. If you've been a victim of domestic violence, the court may consider this factor when dividing assets.
- Spousal Support: You may be eligible for spousal support to help you financially during and after the divorce process.
- Child Support: If you have children, you can seek child support to help cover their expenses.
