West Virginia Motion for Hospitalization Due to Noncompliance with VTA is a legal motion that is filed by a mental health professional or the person's guardian when an individual is not complying with a voluntary treatment agreement (VTA). This motion is used to seek an involuntary hospitalization to protect the safety and well-being of the individual or the public. There are two types of West Virginia Motion for Hospitalization Due to Noncompliance with VTA: ex parte motion and notice motion. An ex parte motion is filed when there is an immediate threat of harm to the individual or the public. The court will then hear the motion and decide whether to grant or deny it. A notice motion is filed when there is no immediate threat of harm and the individual is given notice of the motion and a chance to be heard.
