FAQ
Can I get a restraining order against a neighbor? Pennsylvania does not have restraining orders. We do have protection from abuse orders (PFAs). These can be obtained on someone you reside with (household member), family member or a current or ex-intimate partner.
If you need protection right away, take your forms to a court clerk. Some courts allow online filing, also called efiling. You can find out if your court has online filing by visiting your court's website.
Protection orders can be filed in four easy steps Step 1: Fill out paperwork at your local courthouse. Step 2: Review paperwork with a judge. Step 3: Judge grants or denies temporary order. Step 4: Attend final hearing to obtain final order.
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.
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.
A temporary restraining order is signed by the judge without a hearing and is effective for 14 days. However, you may request an extension of an additional 14 days before its expiration for good cause.
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.
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.
