What Type of Restraining Order Have You Been Served With?

209A Abuse Prevention Order

Filed in domestic situations involving:

• Spouses or former spouses
• Current or former romantic partners
• Relatives by blood or marriage
• Cohabitants

This order can be filed even without evidence of physical harm—if the accuser claims a “reasonable fear” of abuse.

258E Harassment Prevention Order

Applies to non-domestic disputes—such as with:

• Neighbors
• Co-workers
• Casual acquaintances
• Online harassment situations

This order requires three or more incidents of intimidation, threats, or abuse.

Both orders can be issued temporarily without your knowledge and then extended for up to one year—or longer.
