I Need to Change or End My Personal Protection Order

This toolkit tells you about changing or ending a Personal Protection Order (PPO) you already have. Use this toolkit if you are the Petitioner and you want to ask the judge to change part of the order or to end the order early. For general information about changing or ending a PPO, read the Articles. Read the Common Questions if you have a specific question. If you want to ask the judge to change or end your PPO, use the Forms link to prepare your forms. The Checklist below has step-by-step instructions for asking the judge to change or end your PPO. Go to Courts & Agencies for information about the court or agency that will handle your case.

You'll find links to legal aid offices and lawyer referral services under Find A Lawyer. If there is a Self-Help Center in your area you can get more help there. If you need something other than legal help, look in Community Services. If you need a fee waiver, an interpreter, a court to accommodate your disability, or more information about going to court, visit Going to Court.
