The Maryland Petition for Protection/Peace Order Continuation Sheet is a document used in the state of Maryland to request a continuation of a previously issued protection/peace order. This document is typically used by individuals who have been granted a protection/peace order in the state of Maryland and are in need of a renewal of their order due to a change in circumstances or an increased threat of harm. There are two types of Maryland Petition for Protection/Peace Order Continuation Sheet: a Petition for a Domestic Violence Protective Order and a Petition for a Peace Order. The Domestic Violence Protective Order is used when the petitioner is in need of protection from a family or household member, such as an intimate partner, spouse, parent, or child. The Peace Order is used when the petitioner is in need of protection from someone who is not a family or household member, such as a neighbor, coworker, or acquaintance. Both types of applications must include detailed information about the petitioner, the respondent, and the alleged abuser, as well as any supporting evidence or testimony.
