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.
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.
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.

A Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”) is a court order that prohibits one or both of the parties from doing certain things during the pendency of a case. A TRO is usually issued at the beginning of a case and stays in effect until it is either modified by the Court or the case ends.
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.
If, however, you are the restrained party the law is not as forgiving but there are ways to do it and our office can assist. In California, a restraining order can be canceled or "dismissed" before its expiration date if the protected party or the restrained party files a motion to dismiss with the court.
Today, a majority of circuit courts permit appeal of TROs in narrow instances when, for instance, the TRO has the practical effect of an injunction, threatens serious or irreparable injury, and can only be reviewed effectively by immediate appeal.
