The AI checks your answers before you download

14 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Ensures Participant and Program Operator Names are Provided

Validates that the names for both the 'PARTICIPANT' and 'PROGRAM OPERATOR' are filled in the header section of the form. These names are essential for identifying the parties involved in the legal action and are used throughout the document. A failure to provide these names would make the petition legally insufficient and result in its rejection.

Validates Program Operator Type Selection

This check ensures that in Section 4, one of the two checkboxes specifying the program operator's type ('Governmental agency' or 'Private nonprofit corporation') is selected. This information is crucial for establishing the operator's legal standing to file the petition under the relevant code. If neither is selected, the form is incomplete and the operator's authority is not established.

Requires Funding Agency if Operator is a Private Nonprofit

This is a conditional logic check for Section 4. If the 'Private nonprofit corporation' checkbox is selected, this validation ensures that the name of the funding agency is specified in the corresponding text field. This detail is required by law to confirm the program's eligibility and funding source, and failure to provide it will lead to an incomplete petition.

Ensures a Basis for the Petition is Stated

This validation confirms that at least one checkbox is selected in either Section 7a (Abuse) or Section 7b (Program Misconduct). The petition must allege either abuse or misconduct to have a legal basis for the requested orders. Without this selection, the petition lacks a cause of action and cannot proceed.

Verifies Factual Basis for Allegations is Provided

This check ensures that the text area in Section 7c, which asks for a detailed description of the incidents, is not empty. This narrative provides the specific facts and evidence the court will use to evaluate the petition's merits. An empty description means there is no supporting evidence for the claims, leading to an immediate denial of the petition.

Requires Rule Number for Each Claimed Misconduct Violation

This validation applies to Section 7b. For every type of program misconduct checked (e.g., 'theft,' 'arson'), the system verifies that a corresponding rule number has been entered in the adjacent text field. This links the alleged action to a specific, documented program rule, which is necessary to prove a 'program misconduct' violation.

Common Mistakes in Completing TH-100

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Failure to Attach Signed Contract
Section 3c explicitly requires the petitioner to attach a copy of the signed contract with the participant. Filers often overlook this requirement in their haste, assuming the factual narrative is sufficient. Without the contract, the court cannot verify the program's rules or the operator's right to control the property, which is a foundational element of the petition and will likely lead to its denial.
Vague or Incomplete Factual Narrative
In Section 7c, filers often use general terms like 'was disruptive' or 'acted threateningly' without providing specifics. A successful petition requires a detailed account of each incident, including exact dates, times, specific actions, direct quotes if possible, and the names of any witnesses. A vague narrative makes it impossible for a judge to find that abuse or misconduct occurred, resulting in the petition being denied.
Not Citing Specific Program Rule Numbers
When alleging program misconduct in Section 7, it is mandatory to cite the specific rule number from the program's regulations that was violated. Many filers check the box for a violation like 'theft' but forget to write in 'rule no. 12.b,' for example. This omission weakens the legal basis of the petition, as it fails to connect the participant's action to a formal, agreed-upon rule, making it harder for the court to grant the order.
Insufficient Justification for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO)
Section 15 requires showing that 'great and irreparable harm' will occur before the court hearing. Filers often just repeat the past incidents instead of explaining why the threat is urgent and immediate. To get a temporary exclusion order, you must demonstrate a risk of 'imminent serious bodily injury,' a very high standard that requires a clear explanation of present danger, not just past events.
Incorrect or Incomplete Court Information
Petitioners frequently enter the wrong court address or branch name in the header section. Each county has specific courthouses that handle these types of civil harassment cases, and filing at the wrong location will cause the clerk to reject the document, delaying the legal process. To avoid this, verify the correct Superior Court branch and its full address for filing transitional housing petitions in that specific county.
Omitting Law Enforcement Agency Details
Section 12 asks for the law enforcement agencies that have jurisdiction over the program sites. Forgetting to list the correct police or sheriff's departments means that if the restraining order is granted, it won't be entered into the state system for enforcement. This makes the order ineffective, as officers responding to a future incident will have no record of it and no authority to enforce it.
Inconsistent Party Names Across Pages
The form requires the 'Participant' and 'Program Operator' names to be written at the top of each page. It's a common error to misspell a name, use a variation, or accidentally switch the parties on subsequent pages. This creates confusion for the court clerk and judge, potentially delaying the case or requiring the filer to submit corrected documents.
Forgetting Signature, Date, or Title
The declaration in Section 16 must be signed, dated, and include the title of the person signing on behalf of the program operator. A missing signature or date is one of the most common reasons for a court clerk to reject a filing on the spot. This simple oversight invalidates the entire petition, forcing the filer to start the process over again.
Failing to List All Persons to Be Protected
In Section 9, when requesting an Abuse Restraining Order, the form asks for the specific persons to be protected. Filers sometimes check the box for 'program employees' or 'program participants' but fail to list their actual names. A judge can only issue an order protecting the specific individuals named in the petition, so omitting names leaves those people legally unprotected.
Mismatching Requested Orders with Factual Allegations
A filer might describe a violent physical attack in detail in Section 7c but then only request an order against 'Program Misconduct' (breaking rules) in Section 8, forgetting to also request an 'Abuse Restraining Order' in Section 9. This inconsistency can lead a judge to grant a weaker order than intended or question the severity of the events. It is crucial to ensure every fact alleged has a corresponding order requested.

What is the purpose of Form TH-100?

What is the difference between 'Abuse' and 'Program Misconduct' on this form?
In Section 6, 'Abuse' refers to actions like causing bodily injury or sexual assault. 'Program Misconduct' refers to intentionally violating specific program rules, such as those against theft, drug use, or harassment, which substantially interferes with the program's operation.
What documents do I need to attach to this petition?
You must attach a copy of the signed contract with the participant, which includes the program rules and regulations, as stated in Section 4. You may also attach witness declarations for additional support.
How should I describe the incidents in Section 7?

What is a Temporary Restraining Order and how do I request one?
