Restraining orders: from 209A to 258E and everything between
The routine nature of District Court restraining order hearings, coupled with the fact that the majority of litigants in such hearings appear pro se, belies the profound effect these legal instruments can have on their parties’ lives. A restraining order can abruptly and dramatically limit a defendant’s ability to maintain housing, maintain familial contact, work, or study. Conversely, the issuance of a restraining order can offer a plaintiff a degree of protection against unwanted contact that would otherwise impair their ability to safely live, associate, work, or study.
Join our expert as we look at the options, how to get them, and what to expect when arguing for or against restraining orders.
