Matched Legal Cases: ['§586', '§2', '§1', '§3', '§3', '§3', '§1']

§586-5 Period of order; hearing. (a) A temporary restraining order granted pursuant to this chapter shall remain in effect at the discretion of the court, for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty days from the date the order is granted or until the effective date, as defined in section 586-5.6, of a protective order issued by the court, whichever occurs first.
The protective order may include all orders stated in the temporary restraining order and may provide further relief, as the court deems necessary to prevent domestic abuse or a recurrence of abuse, including orders establishing temporary visitation with regard to minor children of the parties and orders to either or both parties to participate in domestic violence intervention. [L 1982, c 123, pt of §2; am L 1983, c 186, §1; am L 1987, c 315, §3; am L 1992, c 290, §3; am L 1998, c 172, §3; am L 2011, c 85, §1]
Although the fifteen-day time period for holding a show-cause hearing in subsection (b) is directory, the fifteen-day time period is not permissive, and the family court is obligated to hold a show-cause hearing on a temporary restraining order (TRO) within fifteen days from the date the TRO is granted (where service has been effected) unless there is a substantial reason amounting to good cause for a delay. 122 H. 485 (App.), 228 P.3d 365 (2010).
Subsection (b)'s fifteen-day time period for holding a show-cause hearing is directory; thus, subsection (b) did not compel dissolution of the temporary restraining order (TRO) against respondent and the family court erred in ruling that subsection (b) required the dissolution of the TRO against respondent because a show-cause hearing was not held within fifteen days of the issuance of the TRO. 122 H. 485 (App.), 228 P.3d 365 (2010).
