Emergency Pfa Converted To Temporary Pfa. Still Haven’t Been Served Temp Pfa Paperwork And Court Is Tuesday.
Location: Allegheny County, PA
On 5/28 I was served an emergency PFA by my spouse that evicted me from my home and prohibited contact with both my spouse and my child. The PFA was valid until 6/1 at 5pm. I complied with the PFA, retained a lawyer, and got a hotel. The emergency PFA was served to me in-person.
On about 6/2 my lawyer obtained a digital copy of the temporary order which extended the eviction and no-contact conditions until a hearing was scheduled for 6/9. It is now 6/6 and I have yet to be served in-person for the temporary PFA paperwork.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been compliant with the PFA to the letter. I’ve signed a lease on a new apartment and kept my lawyer up-to-date on my whereabouts at all times. The address on the digital version of the temp PFA is one of a friend’s where I stayed for two days while lining up an apartment. As soon as I signed the lease to my new place, I gave my lawyer my new address. I work from home so I’ve been at each location in this process practically all day.
While I’m hoping to negotiate a consent order prior to the final PFA hearing, I’m curious about the implications of lack of service on this situation. My understanding is that by now I should have been served with not just the temporary order but also a petition detailing the allegations being made against me. I hate going into the hearing essentially blind.
Any and all advice is appreciated.
