     When a protective order exists and a divorce proceeding is pending between the same parties named in the protective order, the protective order shall be dismissed when the court issues a decree of divorce for the parties if the petitioner in the protective order action is present or has been given notice in both the divorce and protective order action of the hearing, and the court specifically finds that the order need not continue. If the court dismisses the protective order, the court shall immediately issue an order of dismissal to be filed in the protective order action and transmit a copy of the order of dismissal to the statewide domestic violence network as described in Section 30-6-8.
