Who may move for an extension after a Final Risk Protection Order expires?

• A. Petitioner
• B. Respondent
• C. Judge
• D. Clerk

Answer: (A)

The ability to seek additional protection after the Final Risk Protection Order ends rests with the person who sought protection in the first place—the petitioner. This party has standing to request that the court extend or reissue protection if they still face risk, so they file the motion for extension and the judge decides based on the current circumstances. The person who is the subject of the order (the respondent) does not initiate an extension, and the clerk handles administrative tasks rather than moving for extensions. Therefore, the petitioner is the one who may move for an extension.
