The Louisiana Uniform Abuse Prevention Forms were developed by the Judicial Administrator’s Office and distributed statewide in 1999. This official release version was identified as version 2 (v.2) and included a total of 32 forms.  The current version, version 6 (v.6) is the updated release for 2009.   This latest version, which includes 42 forms, incorporates changes in relevant laws that were enacted by the state legislature during the 2008 session.

The LPOR forms are divided into two subsets, and there are two reference guides to assist in understanding and using the LPOR forms.

LPOR 1-20R
These forms are the Louisiana Uniform Abuse Prevention Order forms, mandated for use under La. R.S. 46:2136.2(C). Once completed and signed, these orders are to be transmitted to the LPOR by the clerk of the issuing court. This set of 22 forms includes temporary restraining orders, protective orders, preliminary and permanent injunctions, criminal "stay away" orders, and orders to modify, dissolve and dismiss prior orders.

LPOR A-Z
These forms are supplied as a courtesy to the courts and are not mandatory for use. These forms are not transmitted to the LPOR, and can be altered locally if desired. Forms in this set include petitions, service information, rules to show cause, motions and instructions for filling out petitions. Download full set of forms.

FORM and STATUTE GUIDES
The LPOR form guide, in table format, is a reference document that links the various La. statutes to the appropriate LPOR form.

The LPOR statute guide, also in table format, is a reference document that lists the eligibility, venue, relief provided, duration, and consequences for violation for each La. statute that provides protective relief.

AVAILABLE FORMATS
PDF format: Blank forms in portable document format, read and print only. In order to view and print pdf forms, you must have the Adobe Acrobat Reader (free copy available at the Adobe web site). The pdf forms can be downloaded from this web site in form sets as described above, or individually (see links below). They can be ordered via mail or email and are available in hard copy or CD-Rom.

Forms Express 6:  Interactive computer software designed for people who fill out LPOR forms regularly (battered women's programs, legal aid programs, attorneys, clerks of court).  Enter information via a series of helpful screens, and print out completed copies of any (or all!) of the LPOR forms.   Blank LPOR forms can also be generated.   Download from this web site, or order via mail or email.   Software is available on CD-Rom.
