I love it when I see other lawyers make blog posts about restraining orders as it brings more light to the terrible injustices that occur. I came across this article by a lawyer in Massachusetts who really goes into some of the pitfalls if you are served a restraining order.

The article mostly deals with the laws in the state but restraining order violations are fairly consistent among all states. I have highlighted some of the authors main points here:

• A Restraining Order can be issued by a court with no evidence or real proof.  It is based on little more than one person saying that they are afraid of another person, whether that person has done anything or not.
• Temporary or emergency orders can be issued without your even knowing that they are in place.
• Restraining Orders  are often used by disgruntled spouses where divorces have turned spiteful or by angry ex-spouses when child support or visitation is at issue.
• Restraining Orders many times are  used as a tactic to prevent involved parents from being a part of their child’s lives.

In a previous post, I talked about how restraining orders also impact the extended family. Many grandparents lose all contact with their grandchildren because of these laws.  So in these instances the child loses all contact with one side of the family, that is a disgarce.
