Expunge a Protective Order in Monroe County – Legal Help in Bloomington

A Dismissed Order Shouldn't Define You.

If you were served with a protective order in Monroe County—whether from a dating relationship gone wrong, a student dispute at IU, or a misunderstanding during a breakup—you may still have a public record even if the court denied the petition.

At Gibson Law Office in Bloomington, we help clients remove protective order records and restore their reputations.

Why Expungement Matters

Even when the court finds no grounds to issue a protective order, the record may still:

  • Show up on background checks

  • Appear on MyCase.in.gov

  • Be visible to landlords, employers, and others

These records don’t disappear automatically. And they may continue to harm you unless you take action.


Eligibility for Expungement in Monroe County

Indiana law allows you to expunge a protective order if:

  • The petition was dismissed or denied by the court

  • The petitioner didn’t appear at the hearing

  • The case was vacated or reversed on appeal

Our attorneys can file a Verified Petition to Expunge with the Monroe Circuit Court and ensure it is properly sealed.
