A Nevada Extended Protection Order (EPO) is a court order issued in the state of Nevada that prohibits a person from contacting or harassing another person and/or their family members. It is available to victims of domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault, and harassment, and can extend to any related family members. There are two types of Nevada EPOS: Temporary and Extended. A Temporary EPO is issued by a judge to provide immediate protection to a victim of abuse. It is usually granted for a period of up to 20 days, and may include provisions barring the abuser from contact with the victim, their family, or their place of residence. An Extended EPO is issued for a longer period of time (often up to a year) and requires an additional hearing before it can be finalized. An Extended EPO may have more provisions than a Temporary EPO, including restrictions on the abuser’s access to firearms, travel restrictions, and mandatory participation in counseling.
