Petition To Modify Rescind Protective Order {CC-DC-DV 6}

CC-DC-DV-006 - PETITION TO MODIFY; RESCIND; EXTEND PROTECTIVE ORDER (Family Law § 4-507). This form is used in the state of Maryland by either the petitioner or the respondent named in an existing protective order case. The form allows the requesting party to ask the court to make changes to an active protective order. Specifically, the form provides three main options: to modify the terms of the current order, to rescind (cancel) the order entirely, or to extend its duration. An extension can be requested for up to six months for good cause, or up to two years if there has been a subsequent act of abuse by the respondent. If requesting an extension due to new abuse, the petitioner must provide details about the specific abusive actions (e.g., physical violence, stalking, threats, or sexual offenses), when and where they occurred, and any resulting injuries. This information helps the court determine whether further protection is justified. The form also includes a certification under penalty of perjury that the statements made are true, as well as a section for documenting how and when the other party was served with the petition. www.FormsWorkflow.com
