Domestic Violence
Forms and Instructions
An Order for Protection can help keep you safe. However, an order is only one part of staying safe and may not be the safest option in every situation. If you have questions about other options to stay safe call the Washington State Domestic Violence Hotline: 800-562-6025.
While Washington Courts have taken special precautions to protect information transmitted on this site, please note that an abuser may be able to tell what Internet sites you have visited on your home computer. The safest places to find information on the Internet are at a local library, a friend's house, or at work. There may be other ways to protect your safety on the Internet.

Note: Additional documents may be required by local county superior court rules.
Important: To obtain legal advice you should hire a lawyer (for “full service” representation or for “limited” representation) or, if you cannot afford one, contact a low cost or free legal service program. For a referral to a lawyer or a legal service program, call CLEAR (888) 201-1014. If you are the victim of domestic violence, you may also obtain assistance from the Domestic Violence Hotline (800) 562-6025. Your county may also have a courthouse facilitator who cannot provide legal advice, but who can offer limited assistance in completing necessary paperwork. This list of forms is not legal advice and is provided only for reference purposes.
