Dissolve or Dismiss an Old Injunction

In Florida, seeking to dissolve or dismiss an old injunction requires specific legal procedures to be followed.  A situation where a Respondent is asking the Court to dissolve ro dismiss an order of protection that was previously granted is now seeking to have it removed. To ask the court to dissolve or dismiss an old petition, the Respondent must show that there has been a substantial change in circumstances since the order of protection was granted. The court will carefully review motions and schedule a hearing where an evidentiary presentation will take place. During this hearing, it is the Respondent’s responsibility to demonstrate that the order of protection is no longer necessary and does not serve a valid purpose.
