Modifying Protective Orders

Summary

In Connecticut, you can request a modification of a protective order by filing a motion in the court that issued the order. A judge can modify the order if the motion is justified. Pregnancy itself may not be a direct reason for modification, but if it affects safety or welfare, it could potentially be considered. If youre in a dual protective order situation and pregnant with the other partys baby, you have options to both inform the other party and seek a modification. Legal counsel refers to lawyers who provide advice and representation in legal matters.
