How to Obtain a Protective Order

Civil protection orders are available for situations involving domestic or family violence, sexual assault, stalking, harassment, or child sex grooming. These types of situations can be very dangerous and even result in death.

Taking a step like filing for a protection order can offer a level of safety, but also increase your risk. There are resources available to help you take this step safely, please reach out to our CODA Office at 812-238-9577.

Protective Order Packets can be located on a table just inside the Vigo County Courthouse at the main entrance located on the West side of the building.
