FAQ
Temporary protective orders generally remain in effect not more than 7 days. The judge can extend the duration of a Temporary protective order, as needed, for up to 6 months to serve the Respondent or for good cause. A final protective order generally remains in effect up to 1 year and can be extended up to 2 years.
As long as a protective order hasn't expired, you can ask the court to modify or change it. That includes asking to rescind or extend it. Complete a Petition to Modify/Rescind/Extend (form CC-DC-DV-006). The clerk will notify the Respondent and schedule a hearing within 30 days.
It simply depends on the circumstances. The Court may shield the FPO, if the FPO was denied or dismissed OR you consented to the entry of the protective order. In that case you may file a request with the Court to have all related records be shielded from public inspection.
For example, in addition to making a financial judgment against a defendant, a court might issue a permanent injunction ordering that the defendant does not participate in a certain activity or business.
Statutes Text §4–505. (a) (1) If, after a hearing on a petition, whether ex parte or otherwise, a judge finds that there are reasonable grounds to believe that a person eligible for relief has been abused, the judge may enter a temporary protective order to protect any person eligible for relief from abuse.
If a protective order is not served, such order remains unenforceable. This means the person it is designed to protect may still be at risk, as the legal protections still need to be activated.
Once you turn in your request, a judge will decide quickly whether to grant temporary protection. The whole process can take a few weeks to months, depending on how complicated your case is. If the judge grants you a long-term restraining order, it can last up to five years.
A protective order is a court order that says one person must refrain from doing certain acts against another person. It's Maryland's version of a restraining order or stay-away order. You can obtain a protective order from either the District Court or Circuit Court in your county.
A mandatory injunction is issued when a court directs a person to perform certain acts, as opposed to prohibitory injunction, which seeks to preserve the status quo. The defendant named in a mandatory injunction must undo the wrong or injury that one has caused.
The injunction is something ordered by the judge that can either be permanent or for a specific period of time. The restraining order usually only happens at the beginning of the case, once the person is served with a temporary restraining order and that will only last until the injunction hearing.
