What is a DVPO?
A Domestic Violence Protective Order (DVPO), sometimes called a “50B order”, is a court order that can help protect you and your children from further harm. A DVPO may:
Prohibit an abuser from contacting or coming near you.
Remove the abuser from your home.
Address temporary custody and visitation arrangements.
Provide other protections to keep you and your family safe.
These orders can be filed quickly, and emergency protections may be available the same day.
