In our Maine Protection from Abuse Orders (for the elderly/dependent/incapacitated) section, we clarified that this section explains additional people against whom a person can file but it doesn’t affect his/her ability to file against a family or household member or dating partner. We also clarified the definition of dependent adult and added additional acts that qualify as abuse that we previously erroneously left out. We also added a related statute to our Selected Maine Statutes section.
