When applying for a Restraining Order, we feel it is important to inform you that there are several different types of Restraining Orders, depending on the relationship of the parties involved and what may have occurred.

If you have been battered and you have a qualifying relationship with the abuser (to be determined by a Victim Services advocate), you may apply for a Domestic Violence Restraining Order, and the Victim Services Division may assist you.

If your situation involves specifically child custody, general family law or family law restraining orders, general civil law and civil disputes, civil harassment restraining orders, or landlord/tenant matters, we have provided you with low-cost legal referrals that are more appropriate resources to handle your legal matters.
