Did you file an injunction for domestic violence? by: Lorna
Dear Gayle, You don't say where you are (what part of Florida) so I can only go by what I know of the rules that I'm familiar with. The rules may be slightly different where you are. First, yes, it is absolutely true that most of the legal aid societies can only help under very narrow circumstances. They are nonprofits operating on grant money, most of them really are constrained by those guidelines. A shame I know.
If you filed an injunction for protection for domestic violence, you may be able to set up a law enforcement stand-by so that you can go into your house and get your things without your ex bothering you. Following is the link and phone number for the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Get help if you need it.
