Published peace order procedure: a petition for abuse, harassment, stalking, trespass, malicious destruction of property, or misuse of communications is filed within 30 days of the act; when courts are open the papers go to a District Court clerk (not circuit court) and otherwise to a District Court Commissioner's office open 24 hours a day.
- Case types covered (traffic, criminal, civil, judgments and liens, estate, appeals)
- You may ask the court for a peace order if you have been subjected to abuse, harassment, stalking, trespass, or malicious destruction of property. Other grounds include misuse of telephone or electronic communication, revenge porn, and visual surveillance. Remember, if your relationship with the other person is family-like or sexual, you should get a protective order instead of a peace order. Watch a video about eligible relationships in peace order cases. They are similar. The difference: Protective orders apply if you are in a family-like or sexual relationship or if sexual assault has occurred; peace orders apply to all other relationships. Think neighbor, stranger, co-worker. If your relationship qualifies for a protective order, you may NOT seek a peace order. Learn more at mdcourts.gov/dv .
