Which DC form relates to protective orders in family abuse cases?

• A. DC-650.
• B. DC-429.
• C. DC-424.
• D. DC-501.

Answer: (A)

Protective orders in family abuse cases are requested using a dedicated court form, the DC-650. This form is specifically designed to petition for a protective order, capturing who needs protection, who may pose the danger, details of the abuse or threats, and the relief being sought (such as a no-contact order or other protective measures). In many cases, it allows for an immediate, ex parte order to provide swift protection, followed by a scheduled hearing to decide on a longer-term order. The other forms are for different family court procedures, not for requesting protective orders.
