Where to Find Help
UPDATED June 23, 2005
To file for a Protective Order in Iowa, you will have to go to the courthouse in your county or the county where the abuser lives. Find the civil court clerk and request a petition for a Protective Order.
At the courthouse, the clerk will provide you with the forms that you need to file. If you need assistance filling out the form, ask the clerk for help. You will also find links to online forms at our Download Court Forms page. You may also get help with the court system through one of the domestic violence organizations listed on our IA State and Local Programs page.
