Protective orders for Georgia militia members
Beginning July 1, 2025, members of the Georgia organized militia can ask a military judge for a protective order for stalking tied to militia service. A nexus is presumed if either person was in Title 32 status or on state active duty during the conduct. File a verified petition through your commander; it must reach the State Judge Advocate within 24 hours, and the respondent’s commander serves it. Judges may grant fast ex parte protection when probable cause is shown. A hearing happens within 10 days or as soon as practical, but no later than 45 days, with at least five days’ notice. Judges can issue temporary or permanent orders, but mutual orders need a verified counter‑petition filed at least three days before the hearing. You can appeal decisions the same way as domestic relations cases. The law clarifies who may serve as a military judge. Orders end when the respondent leaves the organized militia, but they stay in force while the person is on federal active duty.
Stronger enforcement of military protective orders
Beginning July 1, 2025, military protective orders and consent agreements work statewide. Commanders, military judges, sheriffs, and all Georgia police must enforce them. Orders are recorded in the Georgia Protective Order Registry, which also recognizes foreign protective orders. Military judges can use contempt to enforce orders, with penalties up to 30 days in confinement or a fine up to $1,000. People subject to the military code who disobey a known protective order can be punished as a court‑martial directs.
