Did you know that the Law Offices of Joseph M. Dobkin has handled hundreds of Domestic Violence Injunction cases?
Many times, these actions are filed with an ulterior purpose in mind. Some are wrongfully filed with a strategic view towards gaining an advantage in a divorce or custody matter. And unfortunately, legal fees cannot be recouped from the Petitioner who filed the action with bad intent and who did not prevail. On July 1, 2019, F.S. 57.105 was amended to add subsection (8), which provides that attorneys’ fees may not be awarded under this section in proceedings for an injunction for protection pursuant to sections 741.30, 786.046, or 784.0485, unless the court makes certain findings.
