Restraining Order Attorney Daytona Beach

What is a Restraining Order?

A  restraining order, also called an injunction for protection against violence, is meant to protect a person from future violence or  stop other abusive acts immediately.   If you are in need of an injunction, you must first file a petition with the Court. KOLEILAT & MILLER can assist you in this process.  A temporary injunction may be entered for up to 15 days.  The Court will hold a full trial to determine if the injunction should become permanent.  If you need assistance with filing for an injunction, or if you have had an injunction entered against you, a Daytona Beach family law attorney can assist you in determining the best course of action.  If you have other cases pending, such as a divorce or paternity action, it is important to discuss this with an experienced family law attorney as an injunction may have adverse consequences as it relates to your other cases.
