What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
I have a PFA hearing in PA next week.
At the first hearing, I was told that if I moved out of the state by June and stayed out of contact with the plaintiff that the order would be dropped.
I have moved out of state and have had no contact with the plaintiff.
However, the courthouse is over 1500 miles away. I work full time but I don't make much money, and there's no way I can fly/drive/anything out there and make the court date. I would very likely lose my job if I tried.
I already spoke to a lawyer about this, and to the PFA clerk at the courthouse, and I was told that there was nothing I could do but try and find a way to make it to the court date, but I wanted to get a second/third opinion.
Is there anything I can do in this situation?
I would at least like to submit a statement to the judge if possible letting her know that I've complied with what we discussed at the first hearing and moved out of state.
Is there a way that I can do that?
Thanks a lot in for your help.
