Virginia Protective Order

A Virginia Protective Order is a legal document issued by a court to protect a victim from acts of violence, force, or threat of harm by another individual. It is intended to provide legal protection and ensure the safety of the person seeking the order, often referred to as the "petitioner." Protective orders are typically sought in cases of domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault, or other situations where the petitioner fears for their safety or the safety of their family.
