Laws current as of December 10, 2025 Can an interpersonal protective order be extended?
When your final order is about to expire, you can apply in court for it to be renewed (reissued) for a period of up to three years. You must file your motion before your current IPO expires. There is no specific limit to the number of times that you can apply to renew your order. However, if the order was never violated since it was issued, the judge may consider that when deciding whether or not to reissue the order.1
