(A) Petitioners or Protected Parties. If multiple petitioners, or additional protected parties, are named in a request for a restraining order, but at hearing the petitioners fail to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that each of them, or all of the requested additional protected persons, need a restraining order after hearing to be protected from acts of domestic violence, violence, harassment, bullying, or stalking by the respondent, the Court may issue a restraining order after hearing naming only those petitioners or protected persons it finds to be in imminent and lasting danger.

(B) Respondents. If multiple respondents are named in the petition, but at hearing the petitioner only proves by preponderance of the evidence that some but not all of the respondents represent a threat of domestic violence, violence, harassment, bullying, or stalking, the Court may issue a restraining order after hearing against only the respondents who it finds the petitioner needs protection from.
