What is a Protective Order?

A Protective Order is a legal document issued by a Virginia court to help protect individuals from violence, threats, or harassment. It can restrict someone from contacting or coming near another person and can even temporarily remove them from a shared home. In Virginia, protective orders are governed by Virginia Code § 19.2-152.7:1 and related statutes.

There are three main types of protective orders in Virginia:

• Emergency Protective Order (EPO) – lasts up to 72 hours.

• Preliminary Protective Order (PPO) – can last up to 15 days.

• Permanent Protective Order – can be issued for up to two years.

Each type has serious legal implications, including potential impacts on custody, housing, employment, and firearm rights.

Why It Matters

Protective Orders are more common than you might think, over 60,000 protective orders are issued annually in Virginia, and many involve emotionally charged situations that can escalate quickly without skilled legal help.

At Battlefield Law Group, we represent:

  • Petitioners seeking protection due to threats, violence, or abuse.

  • Respondents who have had a protective order wrongfully or unfairly issued against them.
