OBX Domestic Violence Cases: When Civil DVPOs Intersect with Criminal Charges

What starts as a Domestic Violence Protective Order (DVPO) hearing can quickly evolve into criminal charges. The North Carolina Court of Appeals recently addressed this reality in Simpson v.

The decision, released November 5, 2024, provides guidance on what testimony courts will consider and what evidence they require.
