Family Law - Final Protective Orders - Duration

Summary

The bill changes Maryland law so that any relief granted in a final protective order cannot end before the respondent’s court‑ordered probation ends. It applies to victims of family‑law abuse and to respondents who are on probation when the order is issued or who enter probation while the order is active. The change aims to keep victims protected for the entire time the offender is under supervision.
