I am having trouble understanding the following Colorado statute relating to protection orders. Can someone please explain it in simple terms.
C.R.S §13-14-102(17)
(17) Any order granted pursuant to paragraph (c) or (e) of subsection (15) of this section shall terminate whenever a subsequent order regarding the same subject matter is granted pursuant to the "Uniform Dissolution of Marriage Act", article 10 of title 14, C.R.S., or the "Uniform Child-custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act", article 13 of title 14, C.R.S., or the "Colorado Children's Code", title 19, C.R.S.
Can this mean the following: A protection order was entered preventing some kind of contact. Then at a later time a divorce decree was ordered at a later time granting contact with a person of the same subject of the previous protection order, that by fact of the above stated law, the previous protection order has been terminated as of the date of the divorce decree?
