Can a PFA be dismissed, modified, or dropped in Alabama?

Yes. A PFA may be dismissed, modified, or dissolved if circumstances change or if the protected party requests it. However, the court must approve any change; the parties cannot simply agree informally.

 

Judges take care when modifying PFAs because safety is at stake. They look at behavior since the order was issued, compliance, and whether the risk has truly changed.

 

If you want to modify or dissolve a PFA, filing the proper motion and presenting clear evidence is crucial.
