If you look at the numbers in your own post these laws are used very rarely, and in every state a fraction of petitions applied for are granted.

There needs to be actual evidence greater than "ex girlfriend said so" for a court to grant the request.

Ironically by the numbers Florida seems to be the state most likely to use the law. Granting a total of 2,355 in 2020. California on the other hand has issued only 984. These are the 3rd and 1st most populous states respectively.

Given how many people go through breakups each year and how many people are insanely petty, seems like it's not just based on a disgruntled ex's word.

Florida seems to be the state most likely to use the law.

I wonder if the stat is skewed by the fact that Florida has the largest population of Florida Men.
