    Circuit Court Lacks Jurisdiction to Hear Appeal of Juvenile Court's Denial of Motion to Dissolve Protective Order.

    In the circuit court case of Ortiz v. Chappelear, the circuit court determined it lacked jurisdiction to hear an appeal from the juvenile court of an order denying a request to dissolve a protective order. Such an order is not a final order or a protective order within the meaning of Virginia Code Section 16.1-296.  The only way a circuit court would have jurisdiction over motions to modify, dissolve or extend a protective order is if the circuit court issued the protective order.
