Statutes | Kalispel Tribe Law and Order Code Chapter 8 § 8-6 §§ 8-6.15 | 2020
The petitioner may apply for renewal of the order by filing a petition for renewal at any time within the three months before the order expires. The petition for renewal shall state the reasons why the petitioner seeks to renew the protection order. Upon receipt of the petition for renewal the court shall order a hearing which shall be not later than fourteen days from the date of filing the petition or as soon thereafter as possible. Personal service shall be made on the respondent not less than five days before the hearing. If timely service cannot be made the court shall set a new hearing date and shall either require additional attempts at obtaining personal service or permit service by publication or by mail. If the court permits service by publication or mail, the court shall set the new hearing date not later than twenty-four days from the date of the order. If the order expires because timely service cannot be made the court shall grant the petition for renewal unless the respondent proves by a preponderance of the evidence that the respondent will not resume acts of domestic violence against the petitioner or the petitioners children or family or household members when the order expires. The court may renew the protection order for one year. If the court declines to renew an order for protection, the court shall state in writing on the order the particular reasons for the courts denial.
