A Maryland Petition to Modify/Rescind/Extend Peace Order is a legal process for requesting changes to a court order issued by the Maryland District Court to protect a person from harassment, abuse, or fear of harm. This petition may be filed by either the petitioner (the person who originally requested the order) or the respondent (the person against whom the order was issued). The petition is used to either modify, rescind, or extend the original order. There are three types of Maryland Petition to Modify/Rescind/Extend Peace Order: 1. Petition to Modify: A Petition to Modify is used to request changes to an existing peace order. This includes changing the duration of the order, changing the terms of the order, or adding new terms to the order. 2. Petition to Rescind: A Petition to Rescind is used to request the court to eliminate or invalidate an existing peace order. 3. Petition to Extend: A Petition to Extend is used to request an extension of the duration of the existing peace order. This is typically used when the petitioner believes that the current order does not provide adequate protection.
