The Domestic Violence Unit hears cases in which parties request
protection orders against persons related by blood, legal
custody, marriage, having a child in common, sharing of the
same residence (currently or in the past), or having a romantic
dating relationship (currently or in the past). Judges in
the Domestic Violence Unit also hear cases alleging violations
of protection orders and all misdemeanor criminal cases involving
an 'intrafamily offense.' When appropriate, judges
in the Domestic Violence Unit also adjudicate related divorce,
custody, visitation, paternity and support cases involving
the same parties, as well as certain related civil actions.
Those seeking protection orders should go to one of the two
Domestic Violence Intake Centers
that the Court hosts.
Filings and Fees -- Petitions,
service of process, motions, etc. filed in the Unit are free
of charge.
