Information about completing your Petition for an Order of Protection is published in a booklet prepared by Jackson County. Your attorney can help you complete the paperwork to make sure the Court grants the Petition where appropriate.
Additional information and help (where you can go) can be obtained from additional agencies and organizations. Jackson County keeps a list of links.
If children are involved, the Court may appoint a Guardian Ad Litem to represent the children. Your attorney can explain the purpose of the guardian and what it means to you.
