DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROTECTION PROJECT
FOR THE STATE OF NEW YORK
(Demonstration)

The Internet-Based Domestic Violence Protection Project enables victims/survivors of domestic violence to prepare the court papers they need to file for a protective order.

Victims can prepare papers with the assistance of an Advocate in a safe location using Internet-based technology to guide them through a series of questions. The system helps victims determine whether they are eligible for protective orders and asks the questions needed to construct a petition. In domestic violence programs with specially prepared computers, victims can print petitions to take to court.
