Under Virginia Code § 16.1-279.1, violating a protective order is a serious offense that can result in criminal charges. A violation occurs if the respondent contacts, harasses, or comes near the protected person in violation of the court's order. Penalties include up to 12 months in jail, a fine of up to $2,500, or both. If the violation causes harm or involves a weapon, penalties may be more severe. It’s essential to comply with all terms of a protective order to avoid legal consequences.
