How Abuse Can Affect a Family

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

It is important to protect yourself from personalities and behaviors that engender abusive and fearful situations. Especially if children are involved, it is in your best interest to speak with a Tampa domestic violence injunction attorney as soon as possible to discuss your options.

How Can A Restraining Order Protect Me?

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. If broken, it can lead to a number of legal consequences:

• It could affect their immigration status if they’re in the process of applying for a green card or visa;
• It could prevent them from owning or purchasing a firearm;
• It could prevent them from contacting their children;
• It could require them to move to a different home;
• It could result in additional restrictions placed on the locations they visit and activities they take part in.
