Colorado Safety
Three instruments, one honest router.
The civil protection order you petition for; the mandatory criminal order that arrives with charges; the automatic dissolution injunction that is neither — confusing them costs real time when time matters most. Route by your situation below; nothing here is stored.
Is there immediate danger right now?
If danger is now: 911 first. Everything below is court machinery for after safety.
Is a criminal case pending (or charges filed)?
Is a dissolution case already filed?

Which desk moves fastest varies by county — the clerk settles intake, and county pages appear here as BenchPath clerk-proves each district. Municipal courts touch this layer only as a bounded enforcement crossover. Legal information, not legal advice.
