NE RO qu updated

February 2020

Based on changes that took effect January 2020, we updated the question called “What happens when I apply for a harassment protection order?” in our Nebraska Harassment Protection Orders section and Sexual Assault Protection Orders section. In our Domestic Violence Protection Orders section, we did the following: 1) updated Can I extend my protection order? to increase the filing period from 30 days to 45 days; 2) added information on what petitioners must include in their affidavit in Step 1: Go to court and file a petition; and 3) updated What types of protection orders are there? How long do they last? to reflect the 10-business-days period in which the abuser has to request a hearing and other changes to the law.
