WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors.
The steps to get a sexual assault protective order are similar to the steps to get a domestic violence restraining order, but you may fill out different paperwork. If you have questions, you can call the court clerk or talk to a lawyer. You can find the contact information for local courthouses on the Rhode Island Courthouse Locations page and lawyers on the Rhode Island Finding a Lawyer page.
