Protective Orders Attorney, Charlottesville, Waynesboro

It’s a sad fact that in some divorce cases, one partner makes frightening threats of violence against the other. In these cases, a judge or magistrate may issue a protective order prohibiting you or your spouse from contacting the other person.

In some circumstances, the court may extend a protective order to protect all household members, including children.

Most court orders are fair and appropriate. See enforcing court orders.

Sometimes, however, a vindictive spouse may make unfounded accusations leading to court orders that unfairly and profoundly disrupt the accused’s life. Violating such protective orders, no matter how unfair, can result in jail time.
