Need a domestic violence protective order? (DVPO)
You may not know where to turn if your partner or family member hurts you or threatens violence toward you or your family. A Domestic Violence Protective Order (DVPO) can give you the protection you need from someone who is abusive. If an individual violates a DVPO, they can face criminal charges.
You may need a DVPO if you feel afraid of a partner, previous partner, or family member who commits any of these actions:
- Attempts to cause bodily injury to you or anyone in your household
- Actually causing bodily injury to you or anyone in your household
- Attempts to cause you or anyone in your household to feel emotionally distressed and in fear of serious injury or harassment
- Commits sex offenses such as rape or others listed in G.S. 14-27.21 through G.S. 14-27.33

A DVPO Protects You & your family
A Domestic Violence Protective Order (DVPO) protects you by legally limiting the behavior of an abusive individual you are in relationship with.
Some of the rights a court may grant you and any children include:
- Giving you personal property, including a car
- Awarding you temporary custody of any children or pets
- Giving you the right to remain in your home with any children (no matter who owns or rents the home)
A court may order the abusive individual to:
- Have no contact with you or any children. This often includes an order to stay a fixed distance from you or any children.
- Make no threats through ANY means.
- Refrain from any abuse, harassment, or interference in your life through ANY means.
- Surrender firearms (and not purchase more).
- Move out and not return (doesn’t matter who owns or rents your home).
