Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 50B order in North Carolina?
It’s a court-issued Domestic Violence Protective Order available to people in certain relationships (e.g., spouses, dating partners, family).
How fast can I get protection?
You can request an emergency (ex parte) order the same day you file. A full hearing usually follows within 10 days.
Do I need a police report to file?
No. You can still file for a DVPO without a police report or criminal charges.
Can a DVPO include custody or housing orders?
Yes. Judges can grant temporary custody and even require the other party to leave a shared residence.
Will I have to face the other person in court?
There will be a hearing, but we prepare you for what to expect and can request accommodations if needed.
What if I’ve been accused of abuse?
We also represent clients facing false or exaggerated claims and help defend against unfair protective order requests.
