Step 1 of 3 — About you and your case

We need a few details to fill in the top of the form. None of this is sent anywhere — it stays on your device until you print.

SharpeSystem helps you fill out this form correctly — it is not a lawyer and does not give legal advice. What you do with the completed form is your decision.

State Your county

We use this to find the right courthouse for your area.

Which courthouse? (We'll try to find it for you)

Pick your county first and we'll load the options. If yours isn't listed, choose "I will type it myself."

Case number (if you have one) Your name (Petitioner)

You are the Petitioner — the person asking the court for protection. This is how your name will appear on the form.

Person to be restrained (Respondent)

The Respondent is the person the court order will be directed against. Use their full legal name exactly as it appears on any prior documents.

How do you know this person? Who else needs to be on this order?

Include full names and relationship. Children under 12 can be added here.

Court division (we'll fill this if we can) Court street address Court city and ZIP

When you pick a courthouse above, we'll fill in the address details automatically. You can always edit them by hand.
