Verbatim from the order's own text layer, harvested 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. No OCR was used. Only sentences containing mandatory language (shall, must, may not, no later than, within N) are reproduced — the full document is in custody and is the controlling text. • CIVIL INJUNCTIONS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST DOMESTIC, DATING, SEXUAL, AND REPEAT VIOLENCE INFORMATION FOR PETITIONERS Witnesses - Witnesses must come to court to testify. • Proof of Income - If you are asking for child support or alimony, you must bring a financial affidavit or proof of income such as pay stubs, tax returns, etc. • But, for this type of injunction, there must have been two incidents of physical violence, threats of violence, or stalking, and one of these must have occurred in the last six months. “Family” includes people who you are related to by blood or marriage (spouses, ex-spouses, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles), parties intimately involved and living together but never married, adopted children, step-parents and step-children, and others.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: 0f685973f3e7383700ecf17ed6be2d00b246c117a3e1676d184a5e963fa636c6 (309941 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it. Extraction is conservative: mandatory-language sentences only, so this rule is a faithful subset of the order, never a summary of it.
