Family Law - Temporary and Final Protective Orders - Duration

Summary

The bill lengthens the period a temporary protective order can remain in effect from up to 7 days to up to 14 days after service, and it mandates that a final protective order hearing be held no later than 14 days after the temporary order is issued. It also lets a final protective order require the abuser to pay the victim for medical, housing, and other abuse‑related costs, while preserving the victim’s right to seek additional compensation later.
