Massachusetts Appeals Court March 6, 2018, 17–P–797 (C.E.M. v. J.A.L.)

The defendant appeals from a District Court order dated February 17, 2017 (the order), extending for one year an initial ex parte abuse prevention order issued pursuant to G. L. c. 209A. The defendant argues that at the evidentiary hearing at which both parties testified, the plaintiff (his former wife) failed to introduce sufficient evidence to support the order.
