How can I seek an Order of Protection in Nassau County, Suffolk County, or New York City?
To seek an Order of Protection, you need to file a petition with the appropriate court in the county where the abuse occurred or where the abuser resides, which involves submitting detailed information about the incidents and why you need protection. A temporary order may be issued initially, offering immediate protection until a full court hearing can take place.
