How it helps
Use it for a focused task
This page gives you a structured way to prepare your thoughts, incident notes, and evidence list before you sit down to fill out restraining order paperwork or meet with a legal advocate. It does not give legal advice and is not a substitute for a lawyer.
It helps you organize what happened in a clear, factual way so you can communicate it more easily to a court clerk, attorney, or advocate. You can fill in the sections at your own pace, save your work in your browser, and print or copy a summary when you are ready.
Start by filling in your basic information and a short summary of your situation. Then use the incident log to record what happened, when, where, and who was involved or witnessed each event.
