(1) (a) The municipal, justice or county court in which a petition seeking emergency relief pending a hearing is filed must consider all such requests in an expedited manner. The court may issue an emergency domestic abuse protection order without prior notice to the respondent upon good cause shown by the petitioner. Immediate and present danger of abuse to the petitioner, any minor children or any person alleged to be incompetent shall constitute good cause for issuance of an emergency domestic abuse protection order. The respondent shall be provided with notice of the entry of any emergency domestic abuse protection order issued by the court by personal service of process.
(b) A court granting an emergency domestic abuse protection order may grant relief as provided in Section 93-21-15(1)(a).
(c) An emergency domestic abuse protection order shall be effective for ten (10) days, or until a hearing may be held, whichever occurs first. If a hearing under this subsection (1) is continued, the court may grant or extend the emergency order as it deems necessary for the protection of the abused person. A continuance under this subsection (1)(c) shall be valid for no longer than twenty (20) days.
(2) The Attorney General, in cooperation with the Mississippi Supreme Court and the Mississippi Judicial College, shall develop standardized forms for emergency domestic abuse protection orders.
(3) Any person aggrieved by the decision of a municipal or justice court judge to issue an emergency domestic abuse protection order or to deny issuance of an emergency domestic protection order shall be entitled to request a de novo review by the chancery or county court. All parties shall be advised of the procedure for seeking a de novo hearing.
(4) Nothing in this section shall preclude a party in an ongoing chancery court action from initiating a request for emergency relief pursuant to this section as a part of that action.
