Restraining Orders

If a final protection order gives you temporary custody, visitation, or child support, those parts of the order will only last for 180 days. If you need a permanent order for any of those issues, either you or the other parent must file a separate court case in chancery court during this time. Otherwise, when the 180 days are up, the custody, visitation, or support terms will go back to whatever court order was in place before the protection order was granted.¹
