What must be included with the protective order for service on the defendant?

Protective orders include a Defendant's Guide Sheet that must be provided with service to the defendant. This guide sheet gives clear, plain-language information about what the order does, the defendant’s rights, how to respond, and where to get help or resources. It helps ensure due process by making sure the person being served understands the terms, the potential consequences, and the steps they can take after service. The other items listed aren’t required to accompany service: a police report isn’t part of the service packet, the plaintiff’s social security number isn’t included, and a notarized affidavit isn’t required to be filed with the service materials. The key feature is that the Defendant's Guide Sheet accompanies the order to inform the respondent.
