Understanding Restraining Orders Under Massachusetts Law

In Massachusetts, there are two primary types of restraining orders:

🔹 209A Abuse Prevention Orders: Protects individuals from abuse by family or household members.
🔹 258E Harassment Prevention Orders: Protects individuals from harassment, stalking, or sexual assault by non-family members.

Violating these orders can lead to:

⛓️ Criminal charges and potential jail time
💰 Fines
🗃️ A permanent criminal record

Recent legal updates have expanded the definition of "abuse" to include coercive control, broadening the behaviors that may result in a restraining order.

🚫 No Contact Orders: University-issued directives to prevent contact between parties.
