Orlando, FL asked in Domestic Violence for Florida

Q: How do I disprove abuse? My soon to be ex wife took pics of bruises claiming I did it when I didn't?

I have messages from her stating her parents house is unstable and at times violent. I have message of her stating her mother shoved her. How do I prove a bruise wasn't from me, and came from some other means or was self inflicted? Can I ask for the info of pics taken since date is usually stored in file name? Or dates she accusing it happened so I can verify if was even a time we were together? Cause her order for protection from violence simply says "On many occasions" but cant mention a single incident date. And we were never alone together, we lived with family. She has mentioned to them all I have never touched her in a wrong way. I have a few messages of her apologizing for making the same false accusation to her old drug friends when she almost relapsed. So how far will just picture of a bruise go? If she wants it over that's one thing but false allegations are another. We have no children or property. Was about to leave state but gotta defend this so record stay clean.
