Description

This form is a model order from the court, stating that the court employed an attorney for the defendant based on the defendant's affidavit of indigence, but that the court has learned that the defendant is in fact employed. The order requires the defendant to pay a certain percentage of his wages to the court clerk as reimbursement for the costs expended by the court. Florida Order is a legal term used to describe a type of court-issued order in the state of Florida, United States. It is generally associated with restraining orders, specifically those involving domestic violence cases. The primary objective of a Florida Order is to ensure the safety and protection of an individual who is at risk of harm or is a victim of abuse. There are generally two types of Florida Orders, which are commonly referred to as "Injunction for Protection" or "Restraining Order." These types of orders are specifically tailored to address different forms of harm and provide various levels of protection. 1. Domestic Violence Injunction: This type of Florida Order aims to protect victims involved in domestic violence situations. It can be sought by a victim who has been physically injured or fear imminent physical harm from a family or household member. The order may require the alleged abuser to stay away from the victim, avoid any contact, surrender firearms, attend counseling programs, and may grant temporary custody or visitation rights in cases involving children. 2. Dating Violence Injunction: This Florida Order is similar to domestic violence injunction but is specifically designed for those involved in dating relationships or individuals who have had intimate relationships in the past. It can be obtained by individuals who have been physically injured or fear imminent harm caused by an intimate partner. 3. Repeat Violence Injunction: This type of Florida Order is granted to individuals who have been victims of violence or stalking, not necessarily associated with domestic or dating relationships. It can be sought by victims who have had two or more incidents of violence or stalking and fear future harm. 4. Sexual Violence Injunction: This Florida Order is primarily designed for victims of sexual violence. It can be obtained by individuals who have been sexually assaulted or those who have a reasonable belief that they are in imminent danger of becoming a victim of sexual assault. 5. Stalking Injunction: This type of Florida Order provides protection to victims who have been subjected to repeated harassment, credible threats, or unwanted attention. It can be sought by individuals who fear for their safety or suffer significant emotional distress due to stalking. In all types of Florida Orders, the court carefully evaluates the evidence presented to determine if there is a legitimate and imminent threat to the petitioner's safety. Violations of a Florida Order can result in legal consequences, such as criminal charges or contempt of court. It is important for individuals seeking a Florida Order to consult with an attorney familiar with family law or a domestic violence advocate to ensure their rights are protected throughout the legal process.
