The Suwannee County Clerk’s Office wants citizens to be aware that protective injunctions, including domestic violence injunctions, or restraining orders, are an essential service and remain available to the public. If you need distance from a domestic abuse situation, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 386.362.0500 to find out how we can best serve you.
Other protective injunctions and mental health services remain a priority, including protective injunctions for vulnerable adults and risk protection orders. Baker Act and Marchman Act cases are also continuing during this time to provide protections for individuals experiencing mental health and/or addiction issues.
As our office is offering limited services during the current public health crisis, you should contact us directly at 386.362.0500 to determine the best way to file for an injunction. As always, if you are in immediate danger, call 911.
Other important services remain available, and many, such as payments for court-ordered financial obligations, are available online. Contact our office to find out more about online services in our community at www.suwgov.org.
