Depends on the state, I'm sure. Around here it sure as heck doesn't hurt to have an attorney fill out the paperwork and attend the hearing. That takes money.

You can have enough PFAs to paper your house with, but if your abusive partner has cut you off from family, friends, school and career to the point that you have no practical support system, they don't amount to jack shit as far as actually changing your situation. PFAs don't come with a $100 gift card to Target.

There's nothing here to suggest that's the case.
