As you HAVE an attorney, why don't you ask him/her, instead of trolling the internet for free advice (which sometimes is not worth what you paid) ?
You might also check the Legal section for the details of how c. 209A orders work. In the meantime:
1. Start looking for family members with licenses; and
2. Learn the difference between "loose" and "lose."
I'm not looking for free legal advice. I'm just trying to get an idea of how the process went for others on the board.
No one else in my family has an LTC, and my attorney practices family law; firearms law is not his forte.
Sorry for the misspelling. If questions are not welcome here that's fine, but I thought this was an open forum...

You've already met one of the firearms lawyers on the board and he already Scrived you...it may do well to send him a pm. You can find the full list of lawyers and likely better answers to your questions in the Masslaw subforum.
R.O.s are brutal and not to be messed with. Its never expunged and if she even thinks you are nearby she can make a phone call and it starts all over again.
You nailed the process in your reply. Once served the Police may ask you to turn your weapons in, the chances of this depend on where you live, relationship to the person and how the Chief feels.
You could try storing them with a friend, but I am not sure of how legal that may be...some people say yes, some police say yes, others say no not at all.

I think I'll stop by and talk to the chief tomorrow, explain the situation and see if it is okay to store them with someone else. I have a friend in another department who said he is fine with taking them, but I don't want to cause issues for him if the local chief comes calling.
I guess my only remaining question is after the RO expires, could I just pick up my license and firearms assuming the chief does not revoke my LTC? If it is revoked can I just get an FID card to allow me to retain possession of my firearms?
Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm going to get a referral from my family lawyer tomorrow and at least have a consultation to see what the best course of action is.
Hopefully she is just blowing smoke, but I cannot take the prospect of a restraining order lightly.
For firearms law, you might want to consider Scrivener or Cross-X. They are both knowledgeable in this area.
