In Virginia, a judge will consider whether to grant a temporary protection order during a preliminary protective order (PPO) hearing. The petitioner has the opportunity to provide proof of harm or threat during this hearing, which usually takes place within 15 days of the request. Until a full hearing is held, the court may issue the order for a maximum of 15 days.
