Revoke Pfa Order Process

Summary

To revoke a Protection From Abuse (PFA) order in Pennsylvania, you must request a hearing at the issuing court and present a compelling reason for revocation. If coerced into obtaining the PFA, this can strengthen your case but must be proven in court. If the defendant doesnt appear for the hearing, the court may proceed or reschedule, but its not grounds for automatic dismissal. You can also consider a Sexual Violence or Intimidation (SVI) order based on your relationship with the person. Always consult a legal professional for tailored advice.
