QUESTION: PFA
When can I get a PFA? Can I get one against my daughter's boyfriend?
Answer:
To get a Protection From Abuse Act order (restraining order) in Pennsylvania, the intended target of the PFA, the defendant, must have either a blood relation to the plaintiff or a history of intimacy with the plaintiff. Thus, in the scenario where a mother seeks a PFA against a daughter's boyfriend, a court may be inclined to deny the PFA and suggest that the mother seek another remedy through the civil or criminal courts, other than a PFA.
