Well when she lied to the judge about not having any thing to do with me there was no pfa granted I have the lie detector test and passed I wanna use that as evidence
Lie detector (polygraph) test results are generally not admissible as evidence in Pennsylvania courts, including for matters like PFAs. Courts typically view polygraphs as unreliable. You might still be able to challenge her credibility through other evidence or testimony. Is this for a future hearing or to modify something?
No hearing I wanna get granted a pfa order then go from there need a lawyer because I am suing here she had me put out so much money and she controls when I go to the bathroom I really need to refile I hear about the lie detector test but the officer at family said it was up to the judge
If you want to refile for a Protection From Abuse (PFA) order, you can do so at your county's family court. Here are some key points:
- Polygraph results are generally inadmissible in Pennsylvania courts.
- Focus on providing clear evidence or testimony of abuse or harm.
- You can file the PFA petition yourself, but having a lawyer can strengthen your case, especially if you're also planning to sue.
