Abstract:
A summary of important appellate rulings from around the country focused on the terms of orders of protection. Some states permit non-expiring orders while others require the DV victim to return to court to keep protection in place. This column reviews an important Minnesota Supreme Court ruling that upheld a district court order to extend the terms of several OFPs for fifty years, and similar decisions in California and New York.Keywords: Rew v.
