Abstract: 

This column discusses two recent court cases centered about restraining orders. In Massachusetts, the Court of Appeals ruled that a husband cannot vacate wife’s abuse prevention order against him without extraordinary circumstances. In New Jersey, the state Supreme Court ruled that a husband subject to restraining order could be prohibited from residing in a home near former wife.
