Rule 25 Review Hearings

If a court has already issued a protective order in a financial exploitation case, the judge can schedule follow-up hearings later on to check that everyone is following the order. These are called review hearings, and the judge can hold as many as needed.

At these hearings, the judge can take action to make sure the order is being followed. This might include asking one or both people involved in the case to show up in person. If someone is required to attend, they may need to bring evidence or answer questions about whether they have been complying with the order.

The main point of these hearings is to give the court a way to keep checking on the situation after the initial order is in place. This helps make sure the protective order actually works and that the person being protected continues to receive that protection.
