What does a Protection From Abuse (PFA) order cover in Alabama?
A PFA in Alabama is a court order designed to stop abuse, threats, or harassment and to prevent further contact from the accused party. It offers immediate, enforceable protection.
In Alabama, a PFA can restrict contact, communication, proximity, and behavior. The court may also grant temporary custody, possession of the home, and other relief necessary for safety.
These orders are taken very seriously, and violations can lead to arrest.
Every PFA is tailored to the facts of the case, so the specific terms depend on the evidence presented and the judge’s findings. If you’re concerned about safety or dealing with allegations, the right legal guidance matters.
