As someone who used to work for the state I can tell you that these types of orders only work for somewhat sane people. If the Ex is crazy you two are better off moving to a new place and keeping it secret from him. Too many of my cases had this type (or similar) order and it didn't stop the harassment from a crazy ex.

I can also tell you that anything to do with court or the police takes forever and is generally not very helpful.

"The police won't help you. It's a system designed only to really work against reasonable people." And yet, MA is pouring money in our cops, and....huh.

Gee.

Cops will only show up after a crazy ex assaults someone and then they write a report, and the victim is in the hospital. Fuck the police, almost entirely useless.
