What this form is
This blank Montana petition is linked by Glendive’s municipal source. It records the requested protection, supporting facts, related cases, and requested relief. The petitioner signs under oath, and the certificate allows a judge, clerk, or notary to administer the oath. Notarization alone does not create an order of protection; a judge must act on a filed petition. Contact the appropriate court or a victim advocate for current local forms and urgent filing assistance. Do not delay urgent court help to arrange a paid online notarization. Confirm whether the court accepts the chosen notarization format.
Who needs it
People directed by the appropriate court to use this sworn petition when seeking an order of protection.
Why it needs a notary
The petition is sworn. Page eight allows certification by a judge, clerk, or notary, so a separately purchased notary service is not necessarily required.

- Download the original PDF, follow its instructions, and complete the information that applies to you. Leave any signature requiring notarization unsigned until the session.
- Do I need a notary for this form?
- The petition must be sworn, but its certificate permits a judge, clerk, or notary. Ask the court about its process and free court or advocacy assistance before booking any paid service.
- Can I use an online notary?
- Confirm with the receiving office that it accepts an electronically notarized version for your situation before booking a session with a commissioned online notary.
