COVID-19 Update:
During this emergency, local courts can decide to close some services. This may mean that you are unable to file papers at a courthouse or go to your court date.
Check your court’s local website to see if the court has made special orders that apply to you, like giving you more time to file papers, cancel your court date, or extend a restraining order that you have.
