Vulnerable Adult Protection Order Forms and Instructions An Order for Protection can help keep a vulnerable adult safe. However, an order is only one part of protecting a vulnerable adult. If you have questions about other options, call: the statewide telephone number to report abuse or neglect: 1-866-ENDHARM, 1-866-363-4276; or 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.

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.
