Justice Courts >Court Forms How to Fill Out Protective Order Forms << return to previous page

Before filling out a petition for an Order of Protection, an Injunction Against Harassment, or an Injunction Against Workplace Harassment, please read the Domestic Violence page in the Information Desk section of this website. Once you download the form, you may either fill it out on your computer or print out the blank form and fill it in by hand at a later time. These forms can be used to petition for a new Order or to amend an existing Order or Injunction. Complete both the General Petition form and the Plaintiff's Guide Sheet for Protective Orders form.

The forms are fairly self-explanatory. Just follow the instructions on the form closely. If you fill out the form on the computer, you will only be able to fill out areas that require information from you. Please note, you cannot save completed forms to your computer's hard drive, you can only print them out. Take the completed forms to the court. At the court, using your forms as a reference, you will be asked to enter the information into an automated system or give it to the clerk for that purpose. The reset button at the bottom of the form will clear all of the fields.

If you wish to keep an address private or confidential closely read the instructions on that part of the form. Check our Locations section for directions and phone numbers to the Justice Court nearest you.
