    I was currently in a relationship with someone that is 20. I am in foster care, so I had many people who disagreed with the situation. But, someone who works in the SRS field made me sign a paper saying that i wanted a PFA(protection from abuse) order placed against them. I did not want to sign the paper but they told me that the person would go to jail if i did not. I had to sign the paper and now i can not have any contact with that person. Can I go to court for it and fight against it?
