Understanding the #burden of #proof for #protective Orders in #virginia ⚖️
In Virginia, the burden of proof for obtaining a protective order lies with the petitioner. Unlike criminal cases, where proof must be beyond a reasonable doubt, protective order cases are decided based on the preponderance of the evidence. This means the petitioner must show that it is more likely than not that the abuse or threat of abuse occurred.
