WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors.
In our Georgia Family Violence Protective Orders page, we revised What types of family violence protective order are available? How long do they last? to clarify that a petitioner could file a motion to ask the judge to extend the temporary order to 3 years or to make it permanent. Changes made in English and Spanish.
