WomensLaw is not just for women. We serve and support all survivors, no matter their sex or gender.
Important: Even if courts are closed, you can still file for a protection order and other emergency relief. See our FAQ on Courts and COVID-19.
Court forms are available on the State of Maine Judicial Branch website. Paper forms can be obtained from any District Court or Superior Court clerk’s office. Find Maine Courthouse Locations here.
Read more about these protection orders and how to file on our Maine Protection Orders page.
A domestic violence organization in your area may also be able to provide you with the necessary forms. Go to ME Advocates and Shelters to find an organization near you.
