Often times, a temporary protection from abuse order is issued without you present. The order may affect your custody rights, where you live, and your ability to possess a firearm. With so much at stake it is important to challenge a protection from abuse order. The good news is that a permanent protection from abuse hearing is scheduled following the temporary hearing. This is your chance to be heard.
The burden is on the complainant at a protection from abuse hearing. He or she must prove by a preponderance of the evidence (more likely than not) a reasonable fear of imminent serious bodily injury. If a PFA has been filed against you, do not accept it as a foregone conclusion that because the temporary order was granted the permanent order will be imposed. The respondent has a right to cross examine the petitioner and present evidence through a defense. To speak with an attorney about defending a protection from abuse call our office.

Thanks for posting this. I have a permanent hearing tomorrow. My wife slandered me and was granted a temporary PFA. Thank you for helping me understand what I am going to be up against tomorrow morning.

@@CopoulosFirm she filed for a continuance. Judge granted 2 weeks. I need to find representation. I feel her public defender advised her after seeing the judge was receptive and understanding of my side of events. Now another 14 days of no contact with my 3 children. I’m just broken over this. I started following you. I will be studying your posted videos over the weekend. The world needs more people like you.

They got me on a bogus PFA violation (ICC) and a bogus PFA itself that my psycho ex gf lied about just to get. The judge found me NOT GUILTY of the violation and then quickly threw out the PFA because neither had any merit. Now after several weeks the DA woman had several cops arrest me a day ago for a supposed NEW violation (that supposedly occurred a month ago when I got the first violation). How is this possible? The PFA had no merit to begin with. Whatsoever! Now that it's all been thrown out I have to go before the judge to explain this NEW alleged violation? (It was a txt to her mother saying to remind her that I'd be filings a PFA as well). They said the txt was after I was served but it was during the time they were there trying to talk in circle and get me to let them in.

I have a few questions: 1. At which point are you supposed to surrender your firearms? Upon service of a temporary PFA? Or if a permanent PFA is ruled against you? 2. Aside from personal knowledge of the existence of the firearms, is there any way the police or courts know what firearms the defendant owns or their location? 3. If the weapons are stored at a different location / different jurisdiction, would the PFA be enforceable in that jurisdiction? Or would a 2nd PFA have to be filed in that jurisdiction as an extension of the 1st? 4. PFA vs. PFA: Is it a case of whomever files first gets priority? Or is it a case of whomever has the most prudent PFA? If both PFA's are mutually enforced or mutually withdrawn, what happens then? 5. If there is a settlement between PFA's, can there be mutual stipulations for withdrawal or otherwise? I.E. agreed upon return of personal property or monies, living arrangements, etc? Thank you for your response.

How long do you have to dispute the pfa? When i got mine i had no money and no way to defend myself i was kicked out basically on the verge of being homeless so of course she was awarded the pfa.
