Domestic Violence Court is still a court of law. Although you do not need to wear a suit and tie, you should not wear shorts, flip flops, hats, tank tanks or anything that you would not wear to a job interview. If you need to come directly from work (or go directly to work), you can wear your uniform, so long as your work uniform does not include shorts, flip flops or a hat.
A Hope Card is a new program being launched by Clay County Domestic Violence Court. It is the size of a credit card and contains all the information that a victim needs about his or her Order of Protection. These cards will be given to all victims at no cost when they receive a Full Order of Protection.
