December 2018
We updated the links to outside sources on our Marital / Partner Rape page in English and Spanish.
We revised all of the information on our Massachusetts Harassment Restraining Orders page and added a new question called Can I change or extend my harassment prevention order? All changes were made in English - Spanish soon to come!
November 2018
In our Massachusetts Restraining Orders section, we added information about how Massachusetts state law treats out-of-state protection orders in Can I get my protection enforced in Massachusetts?
