Deferred restraining order
domestic violence attorney Massachusetts Oct 26, 2026
Location: Massachusetts. My ex filed a restraining order against me in Probate court because I have been pressuring him to stop violating our custody orders and he doesn’t like that. I’m not sure what happened when he filed it but I got a summons in the mail to appear for a deferred hearing. The order wasn’t granted at his initial filing. What would happen or be the point then? A restraining order is for imminent safety and abuse but they push off the hearing? We’ve still been communicating about our child since there’s no current order not to.
