How Long Does a Temporary Order of Protection Last?Question:

My ex was arrested on a domestic violence case and I have an order of protection but it’s temporary. The case is still pending. How long does a temporary order of protection last?

Answer:

The temporary order will remain in effect until your next court appearance, at which time it can be vacated, modified or extended, depending on the requests made for relief and what stage of the proceeding you are at. I would recommend that you consult with an attorney to assist you.
