You can download the application form here, print it out and file a completed copy to your local court office. Alternatively, a member of court staff can provide an application form to you when you attend the office. In this form you must set out the reasons why you need an interim domestic violence order. It will help the judge come to a decision. If you have any dependent children you want to be protected by the order, you need to include them in your application. If there are more than 4 dependent children, please use the Additional Children form.
If you have previously applied for a long term order without applying for an interim order at the same time, you can complete an Application for an Interim Domestic Violence order.
