Instructions for Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.980(i), Motion for Extension of
Injunction for Protection Against Domestic, Repeat, Dating, or Sexual Violence; or Stalking (11/15)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLORIDA SUPREME COURT APPROVED FAMILY LAW
FORM 12.980(i)
MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF INJUNCTION FOR PROTECTION AGAINST
DOMESTIC, REPEAT, DATING, OR SEXUAL VIOLENCE, OR STALKING
(11/15)
When should this form be used?
If you are the petitioner on a previously entered injunction for protection against domestic violence,
repeat violence, dating violence, sexual violence, or stalking, and that injunction will soon expire, you may
use this form to request that the court extend the injunction. You must file a motion for extension
BEFORE the previously entered order expires.
This form should be typed or printed in black ink. After completing this form, you should sign it before a
notary public or the clerk of the circuit court. You should then file the original with the clerk in the county
where the petition was filed and keep a copy for your records. If you have any questions or need assistance
completing this form, the clerk or family law intake staff will help you.
What should I do next?
For your case to proceed, you will need to set a hearing on your motion. You must properly notify the
other party of the motion and hearing. You should check with the clerk of court for information on the
local procedure for scheduling a hearing. When you know the date and time of your hearing, you should
file Notice of Hearing (General), Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.923, or other
appropriate notice of hearing form. You will need to serve a copy of your motion and Notice of Hearing on
the other party by U.S. mail, e-mail, or hand delivery. Service of your motion must be in in a manner that
is reasonably calculated to apprise the other party of your motion and the hearing. Please note that if
notice is mailed or e-mailed, the court in certain circumstances may not consider mailing or e-mailing to be
adequate notice. If you want to be sure, you should consider using certified mail, return receipt
requested, or having the motion personally served. This is a technical area of the law; if you have any
questions about it, you should consult a lawyer. For more information on personal service, see the
instructions for Summons: Personal Service on an Individual, Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure Form
12.910(a).
You will need to appear at the hearing on your motion. After the hearing, if the judge grants your motion,
he or she will prepare an Order Extending Injunction for Protection Against Domestic Violence, Repeat
Violence, Dating Violence, or Sexual Violence, or Stalking, Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law
Form 12.980(m). After the judge signs the order, the clerk will provide you with the necessary copies.
Make sure that you keep a certified copy of the previously entered injunction AND a certified copy of the
order extending that injunction with you at all times.
Where can I look for more information?

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING E-FILING
The Florida Rules of Judicial Administration now require that all petitions, pleadings, and documents be

After the initial service of process of the petition or supplemental petition by the Sheriff or certified

permitted to be served on the other party must be served by electronic mail (e-mail) except in certain
circumstances. You must strictly comply with the format requirements set forth in the Rules of Judicial
Administration. If you elect to participate in electronic service, which means serving or receiving pleadings

Judicial Administration 2.516. You may find this rule at www.flcourts.org through the link to the Rules of
Judicial Administration provided under either Family Law Forms: Getting Started, or Rules of Court in the

SELF-REPRESENTED LITIGANTS MAY SERVE DOCUMENTS BY E-MAIL; HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT
REQUIRED TO DO SO. If a self-represented litigant elects to serve and receive documents by e-mail, the
procedures must always be followed once the initial election is made.
