    ● Domestic violence restraining orders (209A orders) for protection from an intimate partner or household member.

    ● Harassment prevention orders (258E orders) for cases involving stalking or repeated harassment.

    ● Temporary restraining orders (TROs), which provide immediate short-term protection until a hearing is scheduled.

    A temporary restraining order lasts up to 10 days until a full hearing is held. If a judge grants a longer-term order, it can last up to a year and may be renewed if necessary. There is no strict limit on how long a restraining order can last, as renewals depend on the circumstances of each case.

  • Can a restraining order affect child support or custody?
