Have you been served with a 209A restraining order? Or do you need to protect yourself with a
209A restraining order?
Domestic violence occurs when physical harm is done from one individual to another. When an
individual makes an attempt at physical harm, or someone who creates fear of imminent
physical harm by threatening another person. This also involves an individual who engages in
rape or unwanted sexual contact with family or household members. This violence can lead to
receiving one of these orders.
In Massachusetts, the abuse prevention law that we have allows individuals to seek a court
order, which is sometimes called either a 209A restraining order, an abuse prevention order, a
restraining order, or a protective order. In court, the plaintiff is the person who asks the court to
issue the order.
