How do I get a sexual assault restraining order?

You can file for a sexual assault restraining order in district court using the North Dakota Petition for Sexual Assault Restraining Order or you can go to the courthouse.
See our ND Courthouse Locations page for contact information. The steps for obtaining a sexual assault restraining order are similar to those for getting a domestic violence protection order. Please see What are the steps for obtaining a domestic violence protection order? for more information.
