A protective order in Virginia can be obtained by victims of domestic violence, stalking, or sexual assault. It prohibits the abuser from contacting or coming near the victim and may include provisions for temporary custody of children and possession of firearms. In the case of a fire, protective orders do not apply, but individuals can take preventative measures such as installing smoke detectors and having a fire escape plan. In Virginia, a protective order can prohibit the respondent from possessing firearms and ammunition. The order can also require the respondent to surrender any firearms they currently possess.
