Injunction and Restraining Order Forms and Templates For Orlando

Quick answer: If you’re trying to figure out which Florida injunction form you need, start here. Below, we list common Florida Family Law injunction forms, link to the official PDFs/Word versions, and explain (in plain English) what each one is used for.

This guide is designed to help non-lawyers understand what form or template you may need to get something done in a Florida restraining order (injunction) case.

Even experienced attorneys can get tripped up on which petition or order applies to a particular situation. The goal here is to make the process easier to understand—whether you’re seeking protection or defending against an injunction that you believe is unjust.

Important: Court clerks can often help with logistics and completion steps, but they are not lawyers and cannot give legal advice. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. Florida injunction paperwork can move fast—using the right form matters.

Temporary order

Temporary Injunction Without Minor Child(ren) (Form 12.980(c)(2))

Temporary order
PDF | Word

Summary: Similar to the form above, but used when minor children are not involved. Temporary restrictions typically become enforceable once the respondent is served.

Final order
PDF | Word

Summary: After notice and a hearing, the judge may enter a final injunction. These outcomes can have serious consequences, including restrictions on contact, housing, and other rights.

Final Judgment Without Minor Child(ren) (After Notice) (Form 12.980(d)(2))

Final order
PDF | Word

Order of Dismissal of Temporary Injunction (Form 12.980(e))

Dismissal
PDF | Word

Summary: This is commonly used when (1) the petitioner does not appear, (2) the petitioner voluntarily dismisses, or (3) the court holds a hearing and the evidence does not support entry of a final injunction.

Notice of Voluntary Dismissal (Form 12.927)

Ends a case (voluntary)
PDF | Word

Summary: A petitioner can file this to voluntarily dismiss their injunction case.

Practical caution: If you are a respondent, do not contact the petitioner just because you want the case dismissed. Even well-intentioned contact can create risk if a temporary order is in place. If dismissal is being discussed, it’s safer to communicate through counsel or the court process.
