Effective 07/01/2022 you can expunge and seal from the public eye certain stalking and civil protective orders. Prior law was once a protective order was filed against you, you can never get it sealed, even if the protective order was dismissed. Protective orders mare your public record.
A continuous protective order may be modified or dismissed only if the court determines by clear and convincing evidence that all requirements of Subsection (3) have been met and the victim does not have a reasonable fear of future harm or abuse.
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. Once a domestic violence injunction is in place, the only way to remove it is through the court.
If your want to lift the injunction, you have to file a Motion to Dismiss the injunctions and set it for hearing in front of the court that issued the injunction. You will have to attend the hearing and explain to the judge the reasons you are no longer in fear of the Respondent and why you want the injunction dropped.
If the protective order was issued after then the civil provisions of the protective order generally last 150 days unless the court finds good cause for extending the expiration date. The criminal provisions of the protective order will typically expire after three years.
Permanent injunctions are issued as a final judgment in a case, where monetary damages will not suffice. Failure to comply with an injunction may result in being held in contempt of court, which in turn may result in either criminal or civil liability. See, e.g., Roe v. Wade 410 US 113 (1973).
Relief of injunction is an equitable and discretionary remedy. Proceedings for grant of injunction are always discretionary and a court of law shall not grant perpetual injunction in favour of the plaintiff against the right owner if he is a mere trespasser.
Just because a judge issued a final injunction in your case does not mean they were right. Often times, judges get it wrong or the record is insufficient to uphold a final injunction. Many times injunctions are overturned by the appellate courts for a variety of reasons.
A significant change in circumstances, such as improved behavior, completion of anger management or counseling programs, or evidence that the risk of violence has diminished, may provide grounds for seeking the dismissal of a restraining order.
If the judge decides that there was abuse and that there is also a credible threat to the plaintiff's safety, a final order of protection will be granted and will last for up to one year. The plaintiff will be directed to go to the clerks counter to wait for the order.
