Costs of Getting a Protection Order
It is not necessary to get an attorney to get a Protection Order. Getting a Protection Order in the court is free – the person only has to pay for the Protection Order to be served on the abuser. If he/she does not have money to pay for the order to be served, then the Act says the court must help with this.
