If you or your children are the victims of physical or sexual abuse, or threatened abuse, you can be protected under the Domestic Violence Protection Order Act. This applies if you are related to the abuser as a family member, were married, have ever lived together, have a child together, or have an established dating relationship and are 16 years of age or older. Go to the nearest district court or to the Snohomish County Superior Court webpage for application forms. If you choose to go to the superior court, go directly to the Protection Order Assistance Program Office, Room C-125, in the Snohomish County Courthouse.
