This is in PA, re a temporary restraining order.

If you need to file for an order immediately and the county courthouse is closed, call your local police department to see which District Justice is on-call. S/he may be able to grant you an emergency order that will last until the next business day when you must go to the prothonotary to file for a Protection from Abuse Order.
(bold print mine) That doesn't sound too reassuring or easy to me - especially around here where our counties are HUGE and a drive to the county seat can take an hour, IF you have access to a car.

It's not too tough, and not much harder than going to Wal-Mart really, at least in Oklahoma. You just trot yourself down to the County Clerk and fill out the paper work. If you're able to fill out your name, address, etc. you're in.
