What Is Considered Domestic Violence in Florida?

Under Florida Statute 741.28-741.31, domestic violence is defined as "any assault, aggravated assault, battery, aggravated battery, sexual assault, sexual battery, stalking, aggravated stalking, kidnapping, false imprisonment, or any criminal offense resulting in physical injury or death of one family or household member by another family or household member."

What to Do if You Are Abused at Home

If you're a victim of domestic violence, it's essential to seek help as soon as possible. You should take the following precautions when seeking aid in a domestic violence situation:

  • Form a safety plan. If you live with an abusive partner, find a place to go where you will be safe. You can stay at a friend's place, with your family, or at a shelter. It's crucial you remove yourself from the situation as quickly as possible.
  • If you live apart from an abusive partner, take measures to ensure your safety in your home. Invite a friend or family member to stay with you for protection. Consider investing in new locks if the abuser has a key to your living space.
  • Seek medical aid. If you suffer any kind of injury as a result of domestic violence, it's important to document the injury and seek medical help quickly. Hospitals also typically have psychologists on staff who can help you process the trauma of domestic violence as you're being treated.
  • If possible, document the domestic violence and notify law enforcement and legal professionals. Victims of domestic violence can receive a temporary injunction against the abuser that will help protect you until you're able to press charges formally.

Our domestic violence lawyers in Navarre can help you understand the intricacies of domestic violence cases and navigate the domestic violence process successfully.

What If You're Falsely Accused of Domestic Violence?

A false domestic violence charge can wreak havoc on your life, complicating your credibility as a professional and a person. If you're falsely accused of domestic violence, take the following steps:

  • Let people you trust know. It's better for your close family and friends to hear it from you than from a social media post. Notify them that the charges are false, and you're pursuing legal actions against the accuser.
  • Collect evidence. If you can, try and document evidence that will help support your case in court. The more you collect, the easier the court process will be.
  • Inform your employer if necessary. If you believe the accuser will contact your place of employment, or if they already have, broach the subject with your employer. Inform them of your side of the story and let them know you're pursuing legal action against the accuser.
  • Remain calm and avoid lashing out. If you have a child with the accuser, remaining a model parent at this time is incredibly important. The more stable you appear and the more calmly you handle the situation, the easier it will be to plead your case in court. Hire an experienced domestic violence lawyer and let them guide you through the legal process. Stick to the defense they recommend and remain focused during court proceedings. The more measured and rational your approach is, the better.
