Restraining Orders 209A
A Quincy, MA Criminal Defense Lawyer Fighting for You
Also known as a restraining order, a 209A protective order is intended to protect individuals from abusive households, family members, and significant others.
209A protective orders can be filed against any individual who:
- Forced another individual to have sex or sexual contact through physical force or intimidation
- Made another individual fear for their safety
- Attempted to hurt another individual
- Physically harmed another individual
These court orders restrict the person against whom they are filed from doing certain things. If the individual does any of the things that they were specifically restricted from doing, it is considered a crime and the police can arrest them. They will then be charged and face long-lasting and far-reaching consequences.
209A protective orders can order an individual to do many things, including:
- Stay a certain distance away from another individual, as well as their home, school, work, etc.
- Stop abusing, harming, or threatening another person or their child
- Give all weapons, guns, and firearm identification cards to police
- Not contact another person or their child in any way
- Move out of another person’s home
- Pay child support or utility bills
If you were arrested for violating a 209A protective order that was filed against you, you need strong representation right away. Otherwise, you could be convicted and face exorbitant fines, probation, and even extensive jail time.
