Rule 1901.2 Scheduling

Courts in Pennsylvania that handle Protection From Abuse (PFA) cases must set up a regular schedule for hearing emergency or temporary PFA requests. This means each county courthouse decides when judges will be available to hear these cases.

This schedule helps people who need protection know when they can go to court and ask for help. If you need a temporary PFA order, you should contact your local courthouse to find out the specific days and times those hearings are held in your county.
