A Wyoming Motion to Extend Domestic Violence Protection Order is a legal document used to extend an existing domestic violence protection order for an additional period of time. This motion is typically filed by the petitioner, who is the individual seeking protection from the respondent, who is the individual against whom the protection order is sought. The motion must be filed with the clerk of court in the county where the original protection order was granted. There are two types of Wyoming Motion to Extend Domestic Violence Protection Order. The first is an ex parte motion, which can be granted without a hearing and without the respondent present. The second type is a regular motion, which requires a hearing and is usually heard by the same judge who issued the original order. In either case, the motion must include a statement of the petitioner's reasons for seeking an extension of the order and must state the amount of time the petitioner is requesting the order be extended. The petitioner must also provide copies of the original protection order and proof of service to the respondent. The court may require additional evidence or testimony before granting the motion.
