If you want to change or get rid of an order of protection that protects you, we recommend you reach out to a domestic violence advocate to discuss your options. You can file a motion or petition in the court that issued the order of protection asking a Judge to change the terms of the order of protection.
Family Court Order of Protection The burden of proof required is lower, relying on the “preponderance of the evidence” standard. Your presence and active participation in court are necessary. While records are kept private, the courtrooms themselves are open to the public.
Only the state that issued your protection order can change, extend, or cancel the order. You cannot have this done by a court in NY. To have your order changed, extended, or canceled, you will have to file a motion or petition in the court where the order was issued.
In New York, this type of substitute motion is called an "Order to Show Cause." An order to show cause can be heard anytime the court directs, even fewer than the usual eight days, and even as short as a few hours later, if the court is convinced there's a real emergency.
In California, violating a restraining order can have serious legal consequences, including fines, imprisonment, or both. Understanding the rules and limitations surrounding contact while a restraining order is in effect is crucial for both the protected person and the individual subject to the order.
Modifying an order Speak with the clerk of court to complete a petition for a modification of your order - you can see the affidavit that you would file in family court on the NY Courts website.
Legal Examples: A Show Cause Order is issued to a party who has allegedly violated a court order. The individual must appear in court to explain why they should not be held in contempt for failing to comply with the original order, such as not paying court-ordered child support.
