How long can an Order of Protection last?
Call now: 516-660-4354
In some parts of the state it’s handled in two stages (a finding and then a disposition), but in many places it’s handled in one. The disposition can range from an Extreme Order of Protection for up to five years to a Limited Order of Protection that could end in 30 days.
The seriousness of the case usually determines that. These cases also require actual knowledge of facts—not “someone told me.” And if you’re seeking an Order of Protection for a child, a child’s statements alone may be insufficient for the court to issue an Order of Protection.
