Florida law allows survivors of domestic violence to seek protection orders that restrict abusers from contact and provide immediate safety measures. These orders are designed to safeguard survivors and their children from further harm.
The legal process can be complex, but survivors do not have to navigate it alone. Florida Rural Legal Services, Inc. (FRLS) attorneys represent survivors in court, help them file for protection, and ensure their voices are heard. Survivors are also connected with counseling, shelters, and community resources to rebuild their lives.
Through the Victim of a Crime Act (VOCA) program, survivors can access legal aid with no income limits. FRLS ensures that survivors of domestic violence have access to justice, protection, and support services.
Florida Rural Legal Services, Inc. (FRLS) is committed to protecting survivors of domestic violence. Our attorneys provide free legal aid and connect families with resources to ensure safety and justice.
