No court filing fees are required for Protection Orders that involve domestic/family violence, harassment, sexual assault, or stalking. It is not necessary to provide a Respondent address in order to file.
RESTRAINING ORDER. In Indiana, there is no such thing as a "restraining order." They are called Protective Orders in Indiana. If you have been harmed, have experienced abuse from a family member, household member, or romantic partner, or if you are the target of stalking, then you file for an Indiana Protective Order.
Indiana has an online system to petition for protection orders, which means that you can seek assistance in the security and privacy of an advocate's office while the advocate prepares and files the petition electronically.
