What does it take for my minor child(ren) to qualify for a PFA?

Your minor child(ren) must have been abused and have a necessary relationship with both you and the adverse party. 

The necessary relationship with you: (1) you are their parent, (2) you are the adult who lives with them, or (3) you are the child(ren)’s court appointed legal custodian/guardian.

The necessary relationship between the adverse party and the minor child(ren): (1) live or used to live together, (2) currently date, (3) used to date, or (4) have a child together.
