TEMPORARY INJUNCTION FOR PROTECTION AGAINST DATING VIOLENCE

The Petition for Injunction for Protection Against Dating Violence under Section 784.046, Florida

service of the temporary injunction. The term Petitioner as used in this injunction includes the person

It is intended that this protection order meet the requirements of 18 U.S.C. Section 2265 and

and enforced as if it were the order of the enforcing state or of the Indian tribe.
