Can I get someone to help me? Do I need a lawyer?
You do not need a lawyer to get your protective order enforced in another state.
However, you may want to get help from a local domestic violence advocate or an attorney in the state that you move to. A domestic violence advocate can tell you what the advantages and disadvantages are for registering your protective order. S/he may also be able to help you through the process if you decide to register it.
To find a domestic violence advocate or a lawyer in your new state, go to our Places that Help page and select that state from the drop-down menu.
