Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

Re: order of protection

Do you mean a Personal Protection Order (PPO)? If so, the answer is "yes", but usually a hearing is required. A standard form is available on the internet (go to www.prosecutingattorney.info and click on the link for the PPO pages, then go to the page with Forms, then scroll down to "Motion to Modify, Extend or Terminate PPO"). This should be filled out as completely as possible, including a detailed statement of why the request is being made, who is making the request, etc. Just because the plaintiff might ask for the PPO to be terminated does not mean that the court will do it. Prosecutors and many judges are wary about this because victims can be pressured by the defendant or others to make this request.

If the "order of protection" is a condition of bond, then a motion to modify bond will have to be filed in the criminal case.
