At the extension hearing the defendant's counsel argued only that the matter "probably shouldn't have even come to this court, given the fact that there's an open divorce in the Worcester court that that judge has already been presiding over for six months." On appeal, the defendant properly disclaims any argument that a judge should sua sponte terminate a c. 209A order and transfer the case to another court merely because there is an open case there. See S.T. v. E.M., 80 Mass. App. Ct. 423, 430 (2011).
