WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors.
CNMI law does not specifically state whether or not a person can extend his/her order. If your order is about to expire but you are still afraid of the respondent, you may want to ask the judge during a review hearing whether or not your order can be extended. You can also speak to a lawyer to ask if it’s possible to apply for a new order before your current order expires.
