Where to Find Help

UPDATED January 19, 2009

Before your Order of Protection from Abuse can take effect, you must have your papers served to the abuser. Contact the civil clerk in the Family Court in your jurisdiction to find out where you should get your papers served. For a list of Ohio Family 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 Ohio.
