Can either plaintiff or defendant contact either party after PFA?

Q: I am the plaintiff and a minor. The defendant is also a minor. I got a PFA on him and it’s set to expire May 31, 2019. I wasn’t sure about the regulations for after it expires. After May 31, 2019 can either party contact the other without it being illegal or in need of filing an ICC? (Pittsburgh, PA)

A: If the PFA Order has expired, either party can contact the other. If the defendant commences harassment or unwanted contact, you can always file again.
