If you are a victim of domestic abuse, getting a protective order to keep the abuser away can be a very intimidating process. For assistance in Marion County Superior Court 21 (also known as Protective Order Court), ask for an ICADV advocate. Advocates are available to help you and provide support through the civil process.
In addition to providing legal services, the Protective Order Project (POP) is staffed with court advocates to assist victims of family violence and/or stalking, in obtaining and enforcing orders of protection in Court 21. Our advocates can provide information on the procedures to file an order, and offer instruction on how to file criminal charges through the prosecutor’s office when necessary. Additionally, advocates can offer referrals to various domestic violence support programs, assist in identifying other community resources, and work in collaboration with other social service agencies. Furthermore, advocates provide important emotional support and court accompaniment to victims and serve as liaison to the Court, staff, and legal counsel. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the services we offer.
