Quick Answer
What do I need for a Michigan personal protection order (ppo)?
There is no filing fee for a Michigan personal protection order. You file form CC 375 in circuit court with the respondent's name and address plus a specific, dated timeline of incidents. A judge can review it the same day (ex parte) and either grant the PPO immediately or set a hearing.
