Legal papers can be filed with the Court of Common Pleas at the York County Judicial Center, which is located at 45 N. George Street, York, PA 17401. A lawyer is not required to file papers.

 

  • The person(s) seeking protection must come to the Protection From Abuse Office between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:30 pm Monday - Friday. It takes approximately 2 hours to complete the process.

  • If the Judicial Center is closed, you may file for an emergency Protection Order through the District Justice. Contact 911 to connect to the District Justice on duty.
