Hi All,
This takes place in PA, USA.
A while back, my ex petitioned for a Protection from Abuse (PFA) order protecting her and our daughter. She was granted several temporary's as psycho evals and custody evals took place. The custody evaluator determined I should have Primary Physical Custody. While the temp PFA was active I subsequently filed a Petition to Modify Custody.
After a consolidated hearing (PFA & Custody) in front of a Judge, the Judge denied and dismissed with prejudice my ex's petition and subsequently awarded primary physical custody to me.
I understand that PA Chapter 53 (Child Custody ) Section 39 allows for the awarding of fees. With that said I have heard that fees are not allowed to be awarded due my ex filing the Protection Order.
I am looking for legal methods of obtaining financial relief from a Protection Petition that was filed in bad faith and from the Custody Actions.
Thank you

Not sure what avenue to suggest...
