How Do I Get an Injunction?
1. Go to Room 170, Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, in the St. Johns county Courthouse at 4010 Lewis Speedway, St. Augustine. The phone number is 819-3600, ext. 3674.
2. Bring your ID (drivers license) and information about where the abuser can be found.
3. Tell the official on duty that you want to file a petition for an Injunction for Protection Against Domestic Violence.
4. You will have to tell the official who asks when, where, and how you were hurt or beaten, what the abuser did to you, and how often that happened.
5. For safety reasons you address can be kept confidential through the court at the time of filing.
