What Constitutes a Violation of a PFA Order? Any type of assault or domestic violence is a violation. But also threats, stalking, harassment, or placing the plaintiff in reasonable fear of violence can be a violation of a restraining order.
A Protection From Abuse Order is an Order entered by the Court which tells the abuser to stop the abuse or face serious legal con- sequences.
You must appear at the final PFA hearing because it is the most likely place to get the PFA order dismissed. While you aren't required to have an attorney, your best chance of success will be with a skilled Pennsylvania litigator experienced in defending against PFA orders and criminal domestic violence actions.
A Protection From Intimidation Order (PFI) is for cases of harassment or stalking where the victim is under 18 and the abuser is over 18. Eligibility: Minors (under 18) who are being harassed or stalked by someone 18 or older. An adult (like a parent or guardian) must file the PFI for the minor.
Q: How long can a PFA Order last? A: A PFA Order can last up to three years. The length of the PFA is determined by the Judge who presides over the Protection From Abuse action. If there has been a violation of the PFA Order by the defendant, the PFA Order can be extended for an additional three years.
In general, a PFA violation can be anything that goes against the court's PFA order. If you receive an emergency, temporary, or final PFA order against you, then you should promptly read the full order and comply with its every term. Any step beyond the terms of a PFA order is the order's violation.
If the judge decides that there was abuse and that there is also a credible threat to the plaintiff's safety, a final order of protection will be granted and will last for up to one year. The plaintiff will be directed to go to the clerks counter to wait for the order.
A significant change in circumstances, such as improved behavior, completion of anger management or counseling programs, or evidence that the risk of violence has diminished, may provide grounds for seeking the dismissal of a restraining order.
The order of protection has nothing to do with whether you can get married.
