Protection from Abuse Orders
- A Protective From Abuse Order, (PFA) is one option for you to consider in seeking safety from your abuser.
- A Safe Journey legal advocate can make getting a PFA less confusing.
- The legal advocate will assist in filing for a PFA and transport and accompany you to the courthouse for the temporary and then the final hearings.
- You will go before a judge, who will ask you questions about your safety and has the authority to grant a temporary order and you will be given a copy to carry with you at all times and a copy to file with the police.
- Within 10 days you will attend a hearing for the final PFA and it helps to have the legal advocate present for support.
- To get an emergency protection order on holidays, nights, or weekends, call the Safe Journey Hotline at (814) 438-2675
