A full Domestic Violence Protection Order may be issued only after what condition?

• A. After a police briefing
• B. After a jury verdict
• C. After a domestic violence court hearing
• D. After a signed affidavit

Answer: (C)

A full domestic violence protection order is issued after a domestic violence court hearing, where the judge reviews the evidence, weighs testimony, and decides whether protection is warranted. While a temporary order can be granted based on a sworn statement or affidavit, the complete order comes from the court’s hearing and ruling. A police briefing doesn’t create a binding order, a jury verdict isn’t how these orders are issued, and a signed affidavit alone isn’t enough to finalize the full protection order without the court’s hearing.
