FAQ
For emergency protective orders, the court will also need proof that you or your children are in immediate danger. You or the law enforcement officer may need to give testimony under oath about this probable danger.
What is the Burden of Proof for a Protective Order? In protective order cases, the petitioner holds the burden of proof. Unlike in criminal cases where the petitioner must prove beyond a reasonable doubt, protection order case proofs are based on “preponderance of the evidence.”
A preliminary protective order may include any one or more of the following conditions to be imposed on the respondent: 1. Prohibiting acts of violence, force, or threat or criminal offenses that may result in injury to person or property; 2.
Preliminary protective orders are issued by a judge if the victim can establish probable cause that he or she was recently abused or is in reasonable fear of being abused. If abuse has been established, the judge will grant a preliminary protective order, which lasts for 15 days.
At the hearing, a preliminary protective order may be issued, Va. Code § 19.2- 152.9, using the district court form DC-384, PRELIMINARY PROTECTIVE ORDER. This order will include any conditions and limitations being placed upon the respondent and will state the date of full hearing. This order is valid for fifteen days.
If a petition alleging abuse or neglect of a child has been filed, at the hearing pursuant to this section the court shall determine whether the allegations of abuse or neglect have been proven by a preponderance of the evidence. Any finding of abuse or neglect shall be stated in the court order.
1 The preliminary protective hearing is the first court hearing in juvenile abuse and neglect cases. In some jurisdictions this may be called a “shelter care,” “detention,” “emergency removal,” or “temporary custody” hearing. 2 State and federal law determine who must be present for any hearing to proceed.
If the restraining order is denied at the hearing after the temporary order expires, the order will be deleted from your record. If the judge establishes a permanent restraining order, it will go on record for the restrained individual.
In Virginia, protective orders are in fact regarded as public records. This implies that until a court expressly seals the record, anyone can access them.
