Orders of Protection
Petitions for Temporary Orders of Protection will
only be heard by District Court judges in cases involving parties
to a pending (already filed with an assigned case number) dissolution,
parenting or paternity proceeding, or involving an alleged victim
in a pending felony criminal matter.
All other parties wishing to obtain an order
of protection will need to contact Yellowstone County Justice
Court or Billings Municipal Court regarding their criteria
for such an order.
