Updated: 
September 1, 2023

The petition for a protection from abuse order and a petition for an elder abuse protection order are published online by the Alabama Administrative Office of the Courts. You can also find the forms to file a divorce complaint, to answer a divorce complaint, to file for child custody, and to request to change a custody or visitation order. Their website also has court forms related to small claims court.

You can also get the forms from the clerk of court when you go to the courthouse. To find the courthouse in your area, go to our AL Courthouse Locations page. A domestic violence organization in your area may also be able to provide you with the necessary forms or help you to fill them out. Go to AL Advocates and Shelters to find an organization in your area.
