Q: I went to court for a protection order but I was told to bring my own forms. Where do I get a copy of the forms?

A: The clerks are supposed to give you a copy of the form, but they may run out of copies or refuse to give out the copies. You can find a copy of the forms at: Form J059 and Form J062.

Q: The court did not give me a copy of the protection order. What should I do?

A: The court is supposed to give you a copy of the protection order, but sometimes they run out of paper and can’t make a copy for you. In case this happens, you should take your own paper to the court so that you can get a copy of the protection order. The police may ask to see it if you ask them to arrest the teacher. Keep your copy of the protection order in a safe place!
