Modification of orders, who may file, when
A court can change a child protection order at any time if someone files paperwork showing that things have changed enough to justify it. These protection orders last no more than 180 days. If a separate court order is later made for child support, custody, or visitation under a different law, the earlier order ends. Also, a protection order does not count as a final decision that blocks future court cases about the same issues.
