- Sex CrimesA PFA is a court order that serves as a restraining order for cases generally involving family or household members, or a dating partner. Other forms of abuse can form the basis of a PFA even if they were committed by someone who is not a family or household member, or dating partner. “Abuse” is defined by statute, but includes attempting or causing bodily injury or offensive physical contact, sexual assault, stalking, attempting to or placing another person in fear of bodily injury by threat, harassment, or torment, or restricting the movements of a person. When a petition for a PFA is sought, often times the Court will grant an emergency protective order. Shortly after the petition is filed, a final hearing will be scheduled where both sides will have an opportunity to present evidence and a Judge will determine if a final protection from abuse order will issue. Many times, the parties will attempt to negotiate a consent order, where protection orders are issued without findings of abuse.
