What is a Restraining Order?
It is important to understand exactly what a 209A Restraining Order means for all parties involved. One major stipulation with a Restraining Order is the accused abuser must physically stay away from the person filing the Restraining Order. They must vacate the home, if they share one. The person served with a Restraining Order must not contact the other party, either directly or indirectly.
