Tampa Restraining Order Attorney
Restraining Order Lawyer Also Serving St. Petersburg
When you or a family member has been the victim of inappropriate or abusive behavior in the home, it is very important that you understand your rights in the situation. If you or a loved one is being treated in a manner that provokes fear, embarrassment, hurt or other upsetting emotion or physical state, you need to do something to get that abusive family member away from the family. In Florida, there are laws protecting victims of abuse. A Tampa restraining order lawyer at the Law Offices of Givens Divorce Law Group can help you to work through this upsetting and difficult problem.
You have legal rights, and if you want to remove the family member from your presence, you can go to court to obtain a restraining order. A restraining order (also called order of protection or domestic violence injunction), is a legal order that is issued by the state court of Florida in order to halt the abusive behavior that one person is inflicting upon another.

You don’t have to live in a situation where a family member is terrorizing you. Even if you are not physically injured in any way – even if the person never even touches you, you can still suffer from abuse. You might be suffering from abuse if your family member treats you or your children in a manner that:
- Creates an environment of fear
- Intimidates you
- Threatens you
- Pressures you
