If accused of domestic violence in North Carolina, you may already know about a legal process called a Domestic Violence Protective \"COUNSELING-SESSION-FOR-OBX-DOMESTIC-VIOLENCE\" Order (DVPO) under Chapter 50B. It\u2019s sometimes referred to as a \u201c50B order\u201d or \u201crestraining order.\u201d A judicial official can enter a DVPO against you, limiting (or even entirely preventing) your contact with the person who filed for protection.<\/p>\n

What you might not expect is how 50B orders can be extended beyond their usual timeframe<\/strong>. If you thought an order would end in a year, it can be unsettling to learn someone wants it renewed for an extended period of time. . .sometimes for an additional year or more.<\/p>\n

This post focuses on DVPO extension proceedings from the perspective as a person accused of domestic violence. You can face direct legal and personal implications if the protected party requests more time on the order. You\u2019ll see how extension hearings work, the possible overlap with criminal charges (like Assault on a Female, Communicating Threats, or domestic violence misdemeanors), and the reasons we think it\u2019s a good idea to speak with a lawyer if you\u2019re dealing with these issues. Every case is different, and that\u2019s one reason why you may want to talk with Outer Banks defense attorney Danny Glover<\/a> if you have questions.<\/p>\n
