A: It appears that the judge denied her request for a restraining order, and signed an order so denying it. Then the order was recorded (so as to possibly constitute some sort of a lien on real property).

A: If the court denied the injunction before a hearing your case will be automatically expunged pursuant to 119.0714(1)(K), Florida Statute. This is great news! In injunction cases expungement is not automatic unless a temporary injunction is denied and no hearing is set. This is good for you because employers conducting a background check will not be able to gain access to the petition for injunction filed by your ex-wife.
