LegalAtoms Now Supports Injunctions for Protection Against Domestic Violence in Florida
October 2024 – LegalAtoms is expanding its support to include the state of Florida, offering its comprehensive digital platform to assist with the preparation of the restraining order paperwork and subsequent filings. This expansion meets the needs of users including individuals, courts, and law enforcement, with services available in both English and Spanish. With this launch, LegalAtoms aims to provide a streamlined pathway for Florida courts to meet the increasing demand for digital access to legal services.
There are five primary types of restraining orders in Florida :
- Injunction for Protection Against Domestic Violence
- Injunction for Protection Against Stalking
- Injunction for Protection Against Repeat Violence
- Injunction for Protection Against Dating Violence
- Injunction for Protection Against Sexual Violence
LegalAtoms ensures compliance with Florida’s state-specific legal requirements, providing a friendly solution for users to prepare and e-file their petitions for restraining orders from their smartphones, tablets and laptops. The platform simplifies the preparation process, ensuring that all necessary forms are completed correctly, which can be particularly challenging in domestic violence cases that involve complex protective orders, especially those protecting minors.
Florida, with a population of over 21 million people, is a key state for providing universal coverage to victims across the United States. Our platform is designed to improve access to justice by offering a simple, digital solution to a traditionally complex legal process. This is especially important for the large Hispanic community in Florida, where nearly 30% of residents are Spanish speakers. By providing our platform in both English and Spanish, we are offering a critical service that enables non-English speakers to understand and file their legal documents with ease, without fear of their immigration status impacting the process.
LegalAtoms is also integrated with Florida’s Statewide E-Filing Portal, which helps automate the filing process directly with local courts. In addition to preparing and e-filing forms, LegalAtoms offers E-service, allowing for efficient digital delivery of restraining orders in compliance with Florida law, significantly reducing delays caused by the challenges of personal service.
