Go to the court where you live, and ask the court clerk how to file a petition for a restraining order.

In some jurisdictions and on an emergency basis, you can go to the police station when court is not in session. A judge or court commissioner may be available to the police by telephone on a 24 hour basis when courts are closed. The order is temporary and the person who requests it must appear in court along with the defendant within a few days for a full hearing. This procedure may vary by state.

Generally, a petition for a restraining order is filed in court (family or district court) as soon as possible after the situation that triggered the request.

Once you have that information you or your attorney can ask for a Court date whereby your case for having the restraining order removed can be presented.
