Where to Find Help

UPDATED May 11, 2008

Before your restraining order can take effect, you must have your papers served to the abuser. Contact the clerk of the court in the Family Division of the Superior Court, or the Municipal Court in your county to find out where you should get your papers served. For a list of New Jersey 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 New Jersey.
