Bill Summary

Relative to protective order hearings. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure the efficiency of protective order hearings by specifying that if the plaintiff and defendant are already before the probate court for matters such as divorce, separation, paternity, custody, support, or alimony, any proceedings under Chapter 209A (related to domestic violence protective orders) shall be filed, heard, and determined in the probate court where those other matters are pending. This provision is intended to streamline the legal process and avoid duplicating court proceedings for the same individuals.
