Posted by Nydia Streets of Streets Law in Florida Domestic Violence
Judges in Florida domestic violence cases have “broad discretion in granting, denying, dissolving, or modifying injunctions, and that decision will not be disturbed on appeal absent a clear abuse of discretion”, according to Johnson v. Navabi, 3D25-0147 (Fla. 3d DCA May 14, 2025).
In this case, a permanent domestic violence injunction was entered, and the accused appealed. However, he did not provide a transcript of the proceedings or stipulated statement of the evidence. The appellate court therefore concluded “we are unable to determine whether the trial court abused its discretion and must affirm.”
