The Maryland Petition for Protection/Peace Order Continuation Sheet is a form used to apply for a protection order or peace order in Maryland. This form is used to extend an existing protection order or peace order if the original order is set to expire. There are two types of Maryland Petition for Protection/Peace Order Continuation Sheet: one for protection orders and one for peace orders. The protection order continuation sheet is used to extend an existing protection order, which is a court order that prohibits a person from having contact with another person. The peace order continuation sheet is used to extend an existing peace order, which is a court order that orders a person to stay away from another person and refrain from harassing or threatening them. Both types of Maryland Petition for Protection/Peace Order Continuation Sheet must be completed in full and submitted to the court before the expiration date of the existing order.
