Hi Mersadez! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
I’m filing a restraining order against my ex. We recently broke up and he has started threatening me over text/email that he’s going to hurt me and leak nude images of me online. I’m filing the restraining order online and im just unsure which option to choose.
I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. In Florida, you might consider filing for a "Domestic Violence Injunction" or a "Dating Violence Injunction" based on your situation.
- Domestic Violence Injunction: For situations involving family or household members.
- Dating Violence Injunction: If you've had a significant romantic or intimate relationship.
Do you need more information on these options?
With the domestic violence injunction when I click on it, this is what it says “ Domestic Violence means that a family or household member has been physically injured or died as a result of another family or household member having committed assault, aggravated assault, battery, aggravated battery, sexual assault, sexual battery, stalking, aggravated stalking, kidnapping, false imprisonment, or any other criminal offense.”
In your situation, since you're dealing with threats from an ex, the "Dating Violence Injunction" might be more appropriate as it applies to significant romantic relationships. This injunction can help protect you from threats or harassment. Would you like any guidance on how to proceed with filing it?
