Protection From Abuse (PFA)
Experiencing abuse at home is something no one should ever face alone. In Pennsylvania, the law offers protection for individuals at risk through what’s known as a Protection From Abuse (PFA) order—a legal measure designed to prevent further harm and restore a sense of safety.
At Shane Scanlon Law, we understand the emotional weight these situations carry. Our role is to guide you through the legal process with clarity, discretion, and determination.
What is a PFA?
A Protection From Abuse order is issued by a judge and places legal restrictions on someone who has committed or threatened domestic abuse. This could involve physical harm, stalking, harassment, or any conduct that causes fear for personal safety. The person seeking protection must share a certain type of relationship with the accused—such as a partner, spouse, family member, or co-parent.

How a PFA Can Help
When granted, a PFA order can prevent the abuser from contacting you, require them to leave your home, and in some cases, establish temporary custody arrangements or limit firearm access. Every case is unique, and the courts will consider the facts carefully.
What matters most is that the process exists to protect you—and that you don’t have to navigate it alone.
