FAQ
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.
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.
How Long Do No Contact Orders Last? While the case is pending, a no contact order will be in place. In fact, the no contact order can remain in place indefinitely – even after the criminal case is resolved through trial or negotiated resolution.
With most courts, you will need to file a request to have the no contact order lifted. You will need to convince the court that you don't feel the need for the protections offered by the no contact order. Stress how long you've been together, how this event was an aberration and never happened before.
Usually they are not charged. A no contact order violation by a victim is not a violation of a court order. An accused person bound by a no contact order should contact a lawyer if he is being contacted by a victim in a domestic assault case.
If you have been granted a temporary PFA, it will protect you until the final hearing. The court will usually schedule a final hearing within 10 days.
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.
What is a Protection From Abuse (PFA) Order? In Pennsylvania, a PFA order from a court gives protective “relief” for a victim (and sometimes their children) for a period of up to three years (for final orders). A person can file for a PFA order from the court for themselves, or on behalf of their minor children.
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.
