A Maryland Petition to Modify/Rescind/Extend Protective Order is a legal document filed by a petitioner in the Maryland Circuit Court to request a change to an existing protective order. The petitioner is usually someone who is the subject of a protective order, such as a respondent or a respondent's attorney. There are three types of Maryland Petition to Modify/Rescind/Extend Protective Order: (1) Petition to Modify Protective Order; (2) Petition to Rescind Protective Order; and (3) Petition to Extend Protective Order. A Petition to Modify Protective Order is used to request a modification to the terms of an existing protective order. This may include changes in the conditions of the protective order, such as the duration of the order, or changes in the scope of the order, such as additional types of contact being restricted. A Petition to Rescind Protective Order is used to request that the court rescind or terminate an existing protective order. The petitioner must demonstrate that the protective order is no longer necessary or that the respondent has complied with the conditions of the order. A Petition to Extend Protective Order is used to request an extension of an existing protective order. The petitioner must demonstrate that the respondent has not complied with the conditions of the order and that an extension of the protective order is necessary. In all three types of Maryland Petition to Modify/Rescind/Extend Protective Order, the petitioner must provide detailed information about the case, the parties involved, and the reasons for the request. The court will then review the petition and make a decision on whether to grant the requested relief.
