Before you begin

A few things you may be wondering.

Will this file my papers with the court?

No. FileMyTRO helps prepare your papers. You still need to follow the court’s filing steps. Only a court can issue an order.

Do I need to know legal words?

No. The helper can explain a question in simpler words. You choose your answers and check the papers. The helper does not give legal advice.

Can I come back later?

Yes. Wait until your answers say “Saved,” then return in the same browser. You can also create a one-use return code under Check papers. Keep your device and code private.

Will you text or call me?

No. We do not send text messages or make phone calls. Voice help uses your microphone right in your browser.

Have your papers already?
