How can I file a protective order against an individual whose physical address I do not know?

In short, you can't.

However, you can report the crime that you feel makes on necessary. And if that crime is pursued by the District Attorney, the police will be instructed to find him for purposes of questioning or arrest.

And at that point his address of record would be available.

Best bet? Explain the situation to the police - or an attorney in your area - and see what they think.

What is state of limitation on a court order dismissed without prejudice in Washington state for civil case?

In Washington State, if a civil case is dismissed without prejudice, the statute of limitations for the underlying claim typically remains intact. This means that the plaintiff can refile the case within the original statute of limitations period. However, the specific duration may depend on the type of claim, so it's essential to consult the relevant statutes or legal counsel for precise timelines. Generally, the dismissal without prejudice allows for a fresh start without penalizing the plaintiff for the initial filing.

What does it mean when the case status reads O on a civil case?

Unable to answer the question. Notations made on case jackets and in case files are, oftentimes done with 'abbreviations,' 'shorthand,' and 'jargon' that is known only to the the personnel of that particular system. There is no universally recognized system of "notes" that can be referred to. If it is important to know the answer, the best idea would be to go to the local Clerk of Court's office and ask them to decipher its possible meaning.

When are civil suits paid?

When the Defendant has the money!

Joking, of course.

This question leaves out a lot of information. Is there a settlement, a judgment, an appeal? Generally, if there is a settlement, the agreement itself dictates when payment is to be made. If there is a judgment, the Plaintiff has many tools to effectuate payment, if the Defendant is not forthcoming with the payment. If the Defendant appeals the judgment, then the Plaintiff will generally have to wait until after the appeal is heard - but this is usually ok since the Defendant will usually have to file a bond in the amount of the judgment to file the appeal (which secures Plaintiffs' damages, should the appeal fail).

Who approves amendment to the constitution?

The US Congress must approve Constitutional Amendments by a 2/3rds majority. The previous answer (The Supreme Court) is incorrect. The Supreme Court has powers of Constitutional review (given in the Marbury vs Madison decision, commonly credited as the template of what is today considered the core of the power of the Supreme Court), which means they may find laws or precedents inconstitutional and revoke their power (i.e., Brown v Board of Education, which found "separate but equal" to be inconstitutional). This is not the same as creating Constitutional amendments.
