The Domestic Violence Department is located in room 3.2200 on the 3rd floor of the Main Courthouse in West Palm Beach, as well as our branch offices. The following is a summary of the information and process when filing for an Injunction for Protection.Petition for Injunction for Protection Against Domestic Violence. Form Number 12.980(a). A Petition for Injunction can be filed with the Clerk's Office. In some counties, local agencies will assist with filling out the needed forms. You must file this form electronically pursuant to Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial. The injunction process is a civil court process and is not a part of a criminal court proceeding. An injunction is different than a criminal "no-contact" order. The form will ask you to give a detailed description of the facts and circumstances about the family violence and your reasons for seeking protection.
