Types of Orders of Protection Under North Carolina Law
North Carolina law has two main types of restraining orders, which are also called orders of protection.
Chapter 50B of the North Carolina General Statutes governs orders of protection to prevent violence between two people who have had a personal relationship. These orders of protection are sometimes called domestic violence protective orders.
Chapter 50C of the North Carolina General Statutes was enacted to address stalking or harassment by individuals who do not have a personal relationship with the victim. A 50C order is also called a civil protective order.
