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.
You can vacate, dismiss, dissolve, modify or change an order of protection against domestic violence, injunction or restraining order, sometimes also called a stay-away order.
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 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.
How to Fill Out an Order to Show Cause Write the county name. Write the Article for your case type. Write the name(s) of the petitioner(s). Write the name(s) of the respondent(s). Write the docket number, if it exists. Write your name. Write the date you signed the affidavit. Write the month you signed the affidavit.
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.
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.
