• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not necessarily
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (A)

A Domestic Violence Protection Order is a court-ordered protection based on a formal judicial decision after a live hearing. The judge weighs the evidence presented by both sides, evaluates credibility and risk, and then determines whether protection is warranted. Because this outcome rests on a full hearing, the final protection order is issued after that hearing has taken place. (Note: some systems may issue a temporary protective measure to start protection before the hearing, but the lasting order itself follows the court hearing.)
