Massachusetts Restraining Order Laws: M.G.L. c. 209A & 258E

Two types of restraining orders commonly affect college students:

πŸ”Ή 209A Abuse Prevention Order – Filed by someone with a romantic, residential, or familial relationship (e.g., dating partner, roommate)
πŸ”Ή 258E Harassment Prevention Order – Filed by anyone claiming harassment, stalking, or threats

A judge can issue a temporary order immediately, with a full hearing within 10 days to determine if the order will be extended.

Common Situations for Curry Students

Restraining orders often arise from:

πŸŽ“ Breakups leading to protection requests by former partners
🏠 Roommate disputes escalating to legal filings
πŸ“œ No-contact orders based on RA, professor, or Title IX complaints
πŸ“± Disruptive texts, social media posts, or uninvited visits

Being served on campus can be embarrassing and may cause immediate housing or class changes.

Legal Consequences of Restraining Orders

Restraining orders are civil matters but carry serious effects:

🚫 No-contact and stay-away orders, even in shared classes or dorms
🏒 Bans from dorms, dining halls, or athletic facilities
πŸ—ƒοΈ Potential impact on future background checks
⛓️ Criminal charges if the order is violated, even accidentally

FAQs – Restraining Orders & Curry Students

What happens if I'm served a restraining order on campus?

You'll need to attend court quickly and may be barred from contacting the petitioner or accessing campus areas.

Can Curry discipline me if the court denies the order?

Yes. Curry uses a lower standard of proof and may impose sanctions based on its Title IX or conduct review.

Will this affect my future?

A granted restraining order can appear on background checks, and campus sanctions may impact housing, scholarships, or grad school plans.
