Whats the difference between a Peace Order and a restraining order?

The difference between protective orders and peace orders has to do with the relationship between the two parties. Protective orders are generally used in domestic relationships, whereas peace orders apply to all remaining people; a person cannot qualify for both.

How do I file a Peace Order in Maryland?

Start by completing a Petition for Peace Order, or form DC-PO-001. You must also complete a Peace Order Addendum (CC-DC-PO-001A) and a Peace Order Supplement (DC-PO-1S). Find the forms online or ask a court clerk or commissioner for blank forms. If courts are open, file your papers with the clerk in a District Court.

Is a peace order the same as a restraining order?

Protective and peace orders are two classes of restraining orders that are put in place to keep someone from harming, harassing, stalking, or otherwise contacting you. The main difference between these two types of civil orders is the relationship between you and the offender.

What is the burden of proof for a Peace Order in Maryland?

The employer and/or employee has the burden to prove by a preponderance of the evidence (more likely than not) that the Respondent committed the enumerated unlawful act(s) at the employees workplace and is likely to commit an unlawful act in the future against the employee.

What is a Petition for peace order?

Peace and Protective Orders are civil orders issued by a judge that order one person to refrain from committing certain acts against others. The relationship between the respondent (person alleged to have committed the prohibited act) and the petitioner (person seeking protection) determines the Petition to be filed.

What happens if you dont go to court for a peace order?

If you dont show up, the court will most likely issue a default judgment against you, which means they assume the allegations are true, since you didnt defend against them. In that case, they will issue a restraining order against you.
