Maine Restraining Orders

In Maine, there are various types of orders:

• Protection from abuse orders can protect domestic violence victims, as well as stalking victims, and sexual assault victims, and victims of other sex-related crimes committed by anyone, regardless of the relationship.
• There are also additional protections for elderly, dependent, or incapacitated adults -- they can get protection from abuse orders against extended family members or unpaid caregivers and the definition of "abuse" is expanded to include more acts.
• Lastly, there are protection from harassment orders for harassment committed against a victim by anyone, regardless of the relationship.
