After filing a petition for a protection from abuse (known as a PFA), either in open court or in chambers, depending upon local county procedures, a judge will review the case to determine if a temporary protection order should be granted. If the judge believes that abuse has occurred, he/she will issue a temporary protection order and schedule a final hearing that must be held within 10 days.
