If you are referring to restraining order, it depends upon the type of restraining order you desire to obtain.
If you are being abused by a boyfriend, husband, faather of a child or dating relationship, you should call the police and report your situation. If there is a history of abuse or some physical evidence of abuse, the police can obtain a temporary restraining order, for a 5 day period. Many courts, domestic abuse counselors and others will assist you with preparing the a petition for domestic violence. There is no court filing fee for a domestic violence petition.
