The Maryland Petition for Permanent Protection from Domestic Violence is a legal document that can be used to protect victims of domestic violence in the state of Maryland. It is available in two types: an Ex Parte Petition and a Final Protective Order (FPO). An Ex Parte Petition is a request for emergency protection from a court without the abuser being present. An FPO is a longer-term order that provides protection for an indefinite period of time. Both petitions require the petitioner to provide evidence of abuse, such as physical or emotional harm, and can also include protection for any children involved. The petition can also include an order for the abuser to stay away from the petitioner’s residence, workplace, and other specified areas, as well as orders for temporary alimony and child support.
