DVPO stands for what?

• A. Domestic Violence Protection Order
• B. Domestic Violations Protection Order
• C. Domestic Violence Prohibition Order
• D. Domestic Violence Prevention Order

Answer: (A)

DVPO stands for Domestic Violence Protection Order. This is the court-issued remedy designed to protect a person from domestic violence by a family or household member. The core idea is to provide safety—typically requiring the abuser to stay away, cease contact, and sometimes address child-related arrangements—so the term used is “Protection Order.” The other phrasings—Violatons Protection Order, Prohibition Order, or Prevention Order—use different words that aren’t the standard legal terminology for this protective measure.
