For new participants (first time appearing) and participants who are in compliance, court begins at 1:30pm. For participants in warrant status or who are on the contempt docket, you will need to appear at 1:30pm, but your case will not be called until after 2pm.
If you are the victim, you are not required to attend DV Court. If you have questions, please contact the DV Court Advocate at ClayCountyDVA@gmail.com. You are allowed to attend court if you have questions about what is occurring or if you'd like to speak to someone in person about your case.
Immediately contact the Case Coordinator to see if a warrant has been issued for your arrest.
Domestic Violence Court is still a court of law. Although you do not need to wear a suit and tie, you should not wear shorts, flip flops, hats, tank tanks or anything that you would not wear to a job interview. If you need to come directly from work (or go directly to work), you can wear your uniform, so long as your work uniform does not include shorts, flip flops or a hat.
A Hope Card is a new program being launched by Clay County Domestic Violence Court. It is the size of a credit card and contains all the information that a victim needs about his or her Order of Protection. These cards will be given to all victims at no cost when they receive a Full Order of Protection.
Hope Cards are available for petitioners beginning February 9, 2026. More information about how to obtain a Hope Card will be posted soon.
