Easier filing for protection orders

Beginning July 1, 2025, new rules apply to protection‑order petitions filed on or after that date. For stalking or sexual assault cases, you can file in the circuit court where you live or are found, where the other person lives or is found, or where the act happened. The Attorney General provides a standard petition form, and court clerks must give you the form and instructions for free. These steps make it easier to start a case and avoid filing in the wrong court.
