What is the name of your state? New Hampshire/Massachusetts
I was raped and though I did not want to pursue criminal charges against my rapist, I asked for a restraining order and was granted one. This restraining order will expire soon and I was wondering what the next step might be. I was raped in New Hampshire and received the restraining order from a New Hampshire judge but now live in Massachusetts. Will I have to obtain a new one in New Hampshire or in Massachusetts? I know that judges can extend the restraining order but was not sure if this could be done "indefinitely" or if I would have to go through this process over and over again. I was hoping hat someone could help me with this problem (mainly, the likelihood of getting another, the court I need to go to, and possible options in terms of the length of restraining orders.) Thank you in advance for help
