Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Re: restraining orders

If the other side has an attorney you should too. You can call the Clerk's office and they will tell you if an attorney has filed a notice of appearance. Look at your paperwork, you probably got served with a "temporary" restraining order and the court hearing scheduled will be to take evidence about whether a "permanent" order will be established. So your fight is still to come.

While it is adviseable to have an attorney, it is not mandatory. The attorney would be far better able to prepare for a hearing and know how to present your case. The choice is yours.
