A Protection From Intimidation Order (PFI) is an Order entered by the Court which tells the adult offender to have no contact with his/her minor victim or face serious legal conse- quences. It offers a civil remedy to both fe- male and male victims.
Emergency Orders of Protection are intended to be only temporary by nature but can remain active during the pendency of the action. Dismissal generally requires the filing of a motion requesting dismissal and arguing the motion before the judge.
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.
Only the court can cancel a final PFA in Pennsylvania, but a petitioner can be a major help. The petitioner is the only person who can request the court to cancel a PFA. If the petitioner requests the court to cancel a final PFA, then the judge will have a hearing to determine whether cancelation is appropriate.
The only way to get a PFA dropped is to provide conclusive evidence to the court that there is no validity to the charges, or get the person who obtained the PFA to voluntarily drop it.
The temporary PFA will last until the full court hearing for a final PFA where the plaintiff has the chance to testify and present evidence to the court. Usually, a hearing is scheduled within ten business days.
