Where to Find Help

UPDATED April 11, 2008

Before your Protection from Abuse Order or Protection from Harassment Order can take effect, you must have your papers served to the abuser. Contact the clerk of the court in the district court in your county to find out where you should get your papers served. For a list of Maine district courts, check the Courthouse Locations page on our site.

Usually, you get your papers served at your local Sheriff Department. Listed below are telephone numbers and addresses for Sheriff Departments in Maine.
