- Matter of H.I. v I.S.90 Misc 3d 390
Family Court Act § 842’s durational limits apply only to orders of protection issued after fact-finding and dispositional hearings, not to those issued on consent. Consequently, a Family Court may issue a consent order of protection for a period exceeding two years without a judicial finding of aggravated circumstances or a violation of a prior order.
