How much does it cost to get an order of protection? Do I need a lawyer?

There is no fee to file for an order of protection and you do not need an attorney.1 However, you may want to hire an attorney, especially if the abuser has one. Go to our CNMI Finding a Lawyer page for legal referrals.

If you do hire an attorney, the judge may order the abuser to pay your reasonable attorney’s fees.2
