Domestic Violence Protective Order - What to Do Next
What is a Domestic Violence Protective Order?
A domestic violence protective order (DVPO) is a court order that is designed to protect victims of domestic violence from further abuse, These orders are issued by a judge and they can require the abuser to stay away from the victim, stop contacting them, and/or vacate a shared residence. These orders can also provide additional protections, such as requiring the abuser to surrender firearms or pay temporary child support.
In Maryland, there are three types of protective orders that can be issued:
