Resources for Legal Advocacy

Questions about the difference between a Domestic Violence Protective Order and a Personal Safety Order? This side by side comparison may answer your questions, and our advocates are always on standby to help you navigate the process.

The Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia just released this helpful new informational video about the Domestic Violence Protective Order Process in West Virginia.

​

This brochure from the Supreme Court of Appeals of WV explains the Domestic Violence Protective Order process and answers a lot of frequently asked questions for survivors and their loved ones. Check it out if you're thinking about filing for a DVP, and, remember, we have advocates dedicated to each of our five counties that can talk to you about what court is like in your area.
