What is a PFA Order?

A Protection from Abuse order, commonly referred to as a “PFA order,” is a legal document issued by the court to protect victims of domestic violence, harassment, or abuse from their abusers. PFA orders can provide various forms of protection, including:

• Restraining Orders: These orders can prohibit the abuser from contacting or coming near the victim, their home, workplace, or children.
• Custody and Visitation Orders: PFAs can address child custody and visitation arrangements, ensuring the safety of children involved in abusive situations.
• Exclusive Use of the Home: In some cases, a PFA order may grant the victim exclusive use of the shared residence, compelling the abuser to vacate the premises.

Why Seek a PFA Order?

Seeking a PFA order is a critical step in protecting yourself and your loved ones from abusive situations. Here are some reasons to consider a PFA order:

1. Safety: A PFA order provides immediate legal protection, helping to keep you safe from further harm.
2. Peace of Mind: Knowing that the law is on your side and that there are legal consequences for violating the order can bring peace of mind during a traumatic time.
3. Child Protection: PFA orders can include provisions to protect children from exposure to abuse or violence.
