Restraining Orders

If your life has been shaken by domestic violence, it is important that you protect yourself and the ones you love by filing a restraining order against the perpetrator.  Our attorneys are available to assist you if you are in fear of imminent danger.

On the other hand, if you have been slapped with a restraining order as part of a divorce proceeding, contact us if you need to restore your rights and reputation.  There are several grounds for challenging a restraining order.  Quite often, these orders are an overreaction to a domestic argument.  The courts realize that spousal abuse, threats and other claims of domestic violence are often associated with the break-up of relationships and that estranged spouses, ex-spouses and feuding parents often file trumped-up restraining orders to gain leverage in custody-related cases.

If you're involved in a high-conflict divorce which requires consultation related to restraining orders or other domestic violence, Attorney Judith Heller has more experience than each of the attorneys combined. Contact Judith to arrange a no¬obligation consultation in her Norwood office, or arrange to meet her in Andover, Worcester or Plymouth/Cape Cod.
