November 2019
We added seven statutes to our Utah Selected State Statutes section, mostly relating to sexual violence protective orders.
Based on 2019 additions to the law, we revised three questions in our Nevada Restraining Orders section regarding the length of time that temporary and extended orders can last. The changes were made in the Orders for Protection Against Sexual Assault page, Orders for Protection Against Domestic Violence page, and Orders for Protection Against Stalking & Harassment page. All changes made in English and Spanish.
We added 19 questions to our Preparing for Court - By Yourself section. The new questions address such topics as Time Limits (Statutes of Limitation), Subject Matter Jurisdiction, Motions, and Collecting a Judgment, in English. Spanish coming soon!
Based on 2019 additions to the law, we created three new questions in our Nevada Restraining Orders section. The question, entitled Can an order for protection be changed or ended early? was added to our Orders for Protection Against Sexual Assault page, Orders for Protection Against Domestic Violence page, and Orders for Protection Against Stalking & Harassment page. All changes made in English; Spanish coming soon.
