Types of Protection Orders in Washington State
Washington State law encompasses a variety of protection orders within the family law system, aimed at safeguarding individuals from various forms of abuse and harassment. The most commonly encountered types include:
- Domestic Violence Protection Orders (DVPO): These orders are intended for individuals who are facing physical harm, threats, or an overwhelming sense of fear from a family or household member. They provide crucial legal support to those in perilous situations.
- Anti-Harassment Orders: These orders come into play in circumstances involving repeated unwanted contact or harassment that falls short of being classified as domestic violence. This legal recourse helps individuals regain their peace and safety from persistent intrusions.
- Vulnerable Adult Protection Orders: Specifically designed to shield elderly or disabled adults, these orders aim to protect against various forms of abuse, neglect, or exploitation that they may be subjected to due to their vulnerable status.
