A written petition for a restraining order must be filed in the superior court. If the defendant resides in the state of Georgia, the petition must be filed in the county of the defendant’s residence. Examples of petitions for such orders are available on the Georgia Legal Services web page at www.glsp.org and on the Fulton Family Division web page at www.fultonfamilydivison.com. There are also many legal services available around the state which can help you file your motion including Georgia Legal Services (GLS). You can also contact GLS at its headquarters by telephone at (404) 206-5175.
