  1. You need to file a “Petition for Protection Orders” at a trial court. It can be a regional trial court, municipal trial court, regional trial court, municipal circuit trial court, metropolitan trial court which has a territorial jurisdiction of the petitioner’s place of residence. This “petition” covers a number of aspects which includes abuse, provision of support and harassment as mentioned in Section 8.
  2. The protection order needs to be in writing, signed then verified under oath. These information needs to be included in the petition.
  • Names and address of both respondent and petitioner
  • Relationship description of both respondent and petitioner
  • A statement mentioning the circumstances of the abuse
  • Description of reliefs
  • Request for counsel and reason
  • Request for waiver of the fees throughout the application until hearing
