Louisiana Petition For Protection From Abuse (LP PFA) is an application used by individuals in Louisiana to seek protection from abuse. It is a legal request for a court order that will protect the petitioner from physical harm, harassment, intimidation, or threats of violence from another person. The petition can be filed in the parish where the petitioner currently lives or the parish where the abuser resides. There are three types of Louisiana Petition For Protection From Abuse. The first is a Temporary Ex Parte Order, which is a short-term injunction issued without a hearing or notice to the abuser, and lasts up to 15 days. The second is an Interim Protective Order, which is an injunction issued after a hearing, and lasts up to 30 days. The third is a Final Protective Order, which is issued after a full hearing and lasts up to one year. Each petition must include detailed information about the petitioner, the abuser, the nature of the abuse, and any evidence that may be presented in court. The petitioner must also provide an affidavit, detailing the abuse and any related incidents. Upon filing the petition, the court may issue a Temporary Ex Parte Order or schedule a hearing for an Interim or Final Protective Order.
