Family Justice Center - 336-641-SAFE (7233)

The Guilford County Family Justice Center (FJC) is a “one stop shop” for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and elder abuse. Under one roof, 45 professionals from 14 different disciplines work together to provide consolidated and coordinated safety, legal, social, and health services to individuals and families in need. At the FJC, victims of domestic and sexual violence can come to one location to access a wide range of supportive resources, such as talking with a victim advocate, getting assistance with filing a restraining order, planning for their safety, talking to a law enforcement officer, meeting with a professional to discuss civil and criminal legal issues, and gaining information on how to access shelter and other community resources.

From the FJC, victims of domestic and sexual violence can file electronically for a temporary protective order, also known as an ex-parte (50B). These orders must be filed by 12:30 pm on a week day in order to be heard by the presiding judge that same day.
