On our West Virginia Restraining Orders page, we added a new section titled Enforcing your Canadian protective order in West Virginia based on the brand new 2024 law allowing victims with a protective order from Canada to enforce and register their order within West Virginia. This section includes the following five questions:
- I have a domestic violence protective order that was issued in Canada. Can my order be enforced against the abuser in West Virginia?
- What types of Canadian orders qualify for enforcement in West Virginia?
- What happen if the abuser files in court to challenge my Canadian order?
- Can my Canadian order protect me in West Virginia if it was never served on the abuser?
- Am I required to register my Canadian protective order in West Virginia to enforce it?
We also added five related statutes to our Selected West Virginia Statutes page.
