Stalking & Cyberstalking Injunction Defense in Florida

A Stalking Injunction in Florida can be filed based on allegations of repeated unwanted contact, harassment, or electronic communication. These cases increasingly involve text messages, social media posts, GPS tracking claims, or digital surveillance allegations.

Stalking injunctions are governed by Florida Statutes § 784.048 and may be pursued under Florida Statutes § 784.046.

To qualify, the petitioner must demonstrate:

• A course of conduct directed at a specific person;

• Repeated harassment or cyberstalking;

• Conduct that causes substantial emotional distress;

• No legitimate purpose for the contact.

Defending Against Stalking Allegations

Stalking cases frequently involve:

• Ongoing communication between former partners

• Mutual contact presented as one-sided

• Social media interactions mischaracterized as harassment

• Context removed from digital messages

We analyze:

• Whether the communications were truly unwanted

• Whether contact served a legitimate purpose

• Whether the conduct meets the statutory threshold

• Whether evidence has been selectively presented

Digital evidence requires careful review. Screenshots rarely tell the entire story.

A stalking injunction can severely impact firearm rights, employment, and professional reputation. Strategic defense at the final hearing is essential.
