Where to Find Help
UPDATED October 31, 2008
Before your Protection Order can take effect, you must have your papers served to the abuser. Contact the clerk of the court in a court in your county to find out where you should get your papers served. For a list of Tennessee 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 Tennessee.
For more information on how to get a Protection Order, check our Protection Orders in Tennessee page, or contact the clerk of the court in the family court in your county.
The information below came from the www.usacops.com website.
