RULE 3-731. PEACE ORDERS
(2) Service on Custodial Parent. In addition to the service required by subsection (c)(1) of this Rule, if a petition is filed by a non-custodial parent on behalf of a minor pursuant to Rule 3-202 (c), service of a temporary or final peace order shall be made by first-class mail by the court on the custodial parent. If a petition is filed by a guardian on behalf of a minor pursuant to Rule 3-202 (c), service of a temporary or final peace order shall be made by first-class mail by the court on each parent.
(d) Modification; Rescission; Extension. Upon the filing of a motion, a judge may modify, rescind, or extend a peace order. Modification, rescission, and extension of peace orders are governed by Code, Courts Article, § 3-1506(a). If a motion to extend a final peace order is filed before the original expiration date of the peace order, and the hearing is not held by that date, the peace order shall be automatically extended until the hearing is held. The motion shall be presented to a judge forthwith.
Committee note: Although Code, Courts Article, § 3-1506(a) automatically extends a peace order under certain circumstances, judges are encouraged to issue an order even when the automatic extension is applicable.
