209A Abuse Prevention Order
Ten-Day Hearing
The client had no criminal record and consistent, reputable employment. She had been in a long-term relationship that ended with tension. After the breakup, she called her former partner many times. He sought a 209A abuse prevention order. A judge issued a short-term order and set a ten-day hearing. Attorney Barabino represented the client at that hearing. Both parties testified. After hearing the evidence, the judge determined that the case did not need to go forward and did not allow the order to continue.
Result: Ten-Day Hearing, 209A Order NOT CONTINUED.
