Can the order for protection from abuse be extended?
Yes, it can. If you file a petition after entry of the initial order and allege that the defendant has committed additional abuse after the original order or that the defendant has engaged in a pattern of conduct that indicates a continued risk of harm to you or your child(ren), then the order may be extended. The order may be repeatedly extended if necessary.
