In Kentucky, judges set a Domestic Violence Order (DVO) hearing fourteen (14) days after they enter an Emergency Protective Order (EPO). 

At the DVO hearing, the judge will determine whether an act or acts of domestic violence and abuse have occurred and may again occur.  The standard is a preponderance of the evidence.  Ky. Rev. Stat. 403.750.  Based on the definition of "domestic violence," per statute, the threat of imminent domestic violence is sufficient to satisfy the standard if the party meets his or her burden of proof.  Ky. Rev. Stat. 403.720.

Although some parties attempt to handle the DVO hearing on their own, the process can be intimidating.  An attorney can be a valuable asset during the process if your case will be in Fayette County, Kentucky.  If you are attempting to obtain a DVO, your attorney can question you and other witnesses to help you meet your burden of proof.  If you are defending against a DVO, your attorney can question you and other witnesses to show why the other party has not met his or her burden of proof.  Regardless of whether you are trying to get a DVO or whether you are defending against a DVO, it is always a good idea to consult an attorney beforehand. 

Furthermore, courts in Lexington can also take up issues such as child custody, parenting time, and child support during the DVO hearing.  For example, if the parties are not yet divorced (or if a divorce is pending), the judge may make a temporary arrangement for child custody, child support, and parenting time.  Lexington KY DVO Lawyer Breck Norment will be prepared for these types of issues and he will be in your corner during the hearing.
