How long do restraining orders last in Massachusetts?

In Massachusetts, restraining orders are allowed after what's called a 209A hearing. The 209A hearing is really two tiered. First, the complainant comes by themselves, asks the judge for a temporary order - temporary restraining order - keeping the other party away because they're in fear. That's allowed for usually about a week. Then, the defense comes in and there's the second tier. If the defendant loses then, the restraining order that's allowed lasts for about a year.

What happens to my debt after a bankruptcy?

If it's a straight Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the unsecured debt, meaning credit card debt, old utility bills, and medical bills and so forth, determines the discharge. Which means that they are noncollectable. There is a permanent restraining order on any attempt to collect them. They are in effect wiped out. You no longer owe them for all practical purposes.
