Why You Should Expunge a Dismissed Protective Order

Even when a protective order petition is denied or the petitioner doesn’t show up to court, the record can remain visible in:

  • The Indiana Protection Order Registry (POR)

  • MyCase.in.gov (public court access)

  • Law enforcement databases like IDACS and NCIC

These records are public, and they may suggest that you were violent or abusive—even when the case was unfounded.


Who Qualifies for Expungement in Tippecanoe County?

You may be eligible if:

  • The court denied the protective order after a hearing

  • The petitioner failed to appear at the hearing

  • The protective order was dismissed by the court

  • The case was reversed or vacated on appeal

Our attorneys will file a Verified Petition to Expunge and work with the Tippecanoe County courts to clear your record.
