Peace Orders and Protective Orders
In Maryland, peace orders and protective orders grant protection to people who have been abused. The main difference between the two is that a protective order requires that you have a domestic relationship with the person you are seeking protection from.
Both peace orders and protective orders require the abuser to:
- Stop abusing and threatening the person who obtained the order
- Keep away from the home, workplace and/or school of the person who obtained the order
Our lawyers have extensive experience handling both peace orders and protective orders and can help you understand your rights in regard to these legal matters.
