Where to Find Help

UPDATED April 16, 2008

To file for a protective order in Utah, go to the district court in the county where you live, or where the abuser lives. Find the civil court clerk and request a petition for a protective order, and also tell the clerk if you want an ex parte order. You apply for both at the same time.

At the courthouse, the civil 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 UT State and Local Programs page.

Listed below are telephone numbers and addresses for the clerks of the district courts in Utah. For information on the court system in Utah, go to www.utcourts.gov/.
