General legal information furnished as a service of Fort Lauderdale / West Palm Beach family law attorney Janet Langjahr
A Broward County judge entered a temporary injunction for protection against domestic violence against a South Florida Husband who allegedly entered his Wife’s home and searched the house she shared with their three sons, machete in hand, for a phantom boyfriend. The injunction was to protect both Wife and the children.
The injunction required the Husband to surrender any guns in his possession.
Still, a few days later, the Husband reportedly walked the parking lot in the apartment complex where he was staying with a relative, shooting a gun off at cars parked there.
Police shot and killed the Husband - before the date of the hearing to make the injunction permanent.
