FAQ
Keep in mind that you will generally not be able to remain anonymous when seeking a restraining order, in part because the perpetrator will need to be informed of whom they are restrained from contacting.
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.
The specific elements you need to prove to get a restraining order vary from state to state, but in general, you need to show: A specific instance or instances of abuse or harassment (such as sexual assault by an intimate partner) The threat of violence or of further abusive behavior or harassment.
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 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.
Instead, the criminal court will issue a Stay Away Order to a defendant charged with domestic violence. In some ways, the SAO is similar to a PFA; the order can prevent the defendant from having any contact with or approaching the victim. However, a criminal court judge will issue an SAO related to a criminal case.
You must be clear and detailed. At the same time, you need to stay on topic, because the judge does not have a lot of time to read the declaration. You should describe the abuse in detail:Describe all abuse, either toward you or another person you want protected.
Detail what the respondent did, for example: hit, strangled, slapped, punched, kicked, broke or disconnected the phone, and any other abuse/behavior that occurred. If you include threats, state what the abuser said as close to word for word as you can.
Start with a general paragraph summarizing the overall history of abuse, how long it has lasted, and your efforts to stop it. Be as specific as possible and give details about how you or others were harmed by Respondent. Organize your declaration with the most recent events first, going backward in time.
