    Once you have submitted your paperwork:

    • You will receive a confirmation E-mail that your items have been received.  (These will be processed during normal business hours and days of operation. The Courts are closed weekends and Holidays.)
    • Your submitted items will be routed to a Judge.  
    • The Judge will review your paperwork and enter the appropriate order(s).  
    • A Certified Copy of the appropriate order(s)  will be sent to you in the manner you have selected (above).  
    • Read your returned paperwork carefully for any additional steps the Court has directed you to do.
      
    • If the Court sets a second Court date, be sure to appear for that Hearing - otherwise the Court may dismiss your case.

    The DATE, TIME and LOCATION of any future Court Hearings will be on the paperwork you receive back from our office.  

    If you need to appear by Telephone or by Zoom, please make arrangements at least 2 days prior to your court date.  Contact the Court Administrators Office (information below) to do this.

    If your petition is GRANTED, you must keep a copy of the signed order with you at all times. You must be prepared to show it to Law Enforcement - should a situation arise where you need to call them to help enforce the order.

    If your petition is DENIED, you will receive a copy of that order.  You may file and Amended Petition within 14 days in the same case case number.  After 14 days, the court case will be considered closed.  This does not prevent you from making future requests for protection, should you need to.  Each -new- request will be assigned a new case number.

46. Telephonic / Zoom appearances: Contact the Court Administrator's Office at: Requesting a Telephonic Hearing or at Remote Attendance Options.
