Protection-based petitions

Protection-based petitions have their own forms and their own rules for confidentiality. They are never treated as an add-on to another petition, and they are never sold to someone who came for a different case.

If you are in danger now, contact local emergency services first. The software can wait.

What you will usually need

• Your own statement, in your own words
• Any police, court, medical, or counseling records you have
• Identity documents you can safely access
• Anything showing the relationship or the events, where it exists

The exact list for your case comes from the free eligibility check.
