Ohio. R. Superi. Ct. 10.01
Commentary (January 1, 1998)
On December 9, 1994, Am.Sub.H.B. No. 335 became effective, which made significant changes to Ohio's domestic violence laws. Section 4 of Am.Sub.H.B. No. 335, states as follows:
The General Assembly hereby requests the Supreme Court, in consultation with the Department of Human Services, to prescribe a form that is to be filed by a petitioner seeking a civil protection order under section 3113.31 of the Revised Code and that makes reference to all the forms of relief that a court is authorized to grant under division (E) of section 3113.31 of the Revised Code, as amended by this act, contains space for the petitioner to request any of those forms of relief, and includes instructions for completing the form so that a petitioner may file the form without the assistance of an attorney.
The Supreme Court, in consultation with its Domestic Violence Task Force, developed forms in response to the General Assembly's request in Am.Sub.H.B. No. 335.
During its eighteen months of study, the Supreme Court's Domestic Violence Task Force determined that pro se victims of domestic violence often do not have access to the forms necessary to obtain a civil protection order pursuant to R.C. 3113.31 . The Task Force also found that due to the variety of protection order forms used by Ohio courts, it can be difficult for law enforcement officers to recognize valid protection orders and understand the pertinent provisions of such orders. Further, the Task Force discovered that misconceptions exist in regard to the penalties for violating protection orders. The Court developed this rule to address these concerns.
