Restraining orders  in Florida are easy to obtain, by merely filing a form in court and advising a judge that there is abuse occurring, the restraining order is normally granted to protect from possible harm to the person.  A restraining order is normally granted due to threats of physical violence, harassment, stalking or domestic abuse but can be misused by vengeful spouses to prevent a spouse from seeing their children or remaining in the home, or when a pending divorce is occurring.
