Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Injunction
If an injunction has been filed by a wife against her husband - is that the beginning of a divorce? Or does one have to file to dissolve the divorce separately?

One does necessarily have anything to do with the other. The injunction is presumably filed in conjunction with a suit for Injunction to Prevent Domestic Violence. A separate action for dissolution of marriage must be filed.
