How do I apply for a Restraining Order?

A person can file in the county

• where the defendant lives,
• where the plaintiff lives, or
• where the plaintiff is sheltered or staying temporarily.

Go to the Domestic Violence Unit of the Superior Court Family Division at the county courthouse. Offices are open every weekday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Weekend, evenings, and holidays, go to your local police department to file a complaint.
