What is the name of your state? FL

I have pretty much come to the conclusion that they are two different things. However, just to count with a good number of opinions: someone who has received an injunction order for domestic violence and was NEVER arrested for domestic violence, nor charged with an act of domestic violence has not automatically been convicted of domestic violence, correct?

In other words, receiving an injunction for domestic violence is not equivalent to having being convicted of domestic violence, right?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi

It seemed this was an independent question from my previous one. In addition, I had not read the latest reply. It does seem this question was indeed answered: "An 'injunction' is simply a court order to perform or cease action; one doesn't plead to that, but it may be a condition of probation or a deviation program"

That is what I believe is the answer, if I am mistaken, please correct me. Thanks.
