The steps to get a sexual assault protective order are similar to the steps to get a protective order for domestic abuse, but you may fill out different paperwork. If you have questions, you can call the clerk of court or talk to a lawyer. You can find the contact information for local courthouses on the LA Courthouse Locations page and for lawyers on the LA Finding a Lawyer page.
