    Default Domestic Violence Restraining Order Turning into Criminal Charges

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: MA

    Mutual domestic violence restraining orders were given today at a hearing. If either party files criminal charges, how long do they have to do this and when and how will the other party find out? Is there usually a hearing held to determine guilt, or is the person just arrested? Can jail time result from a hearing like this?

    If you want people to comment on a situation, you have to share sufficient facts that they might understand what is happening.
