Legal Question in Family Law in New York

my sister (lives in MA) got restraining order against me (live in NYC) she was angry. I haven't even seen her in 3 years never mind raise a hand. I have no connection with state MA. I was never served. It had been in place 6 mos when I learned about it. I then asked but was denied to be heard.

Just before expiration of RO, on Aug 11 sister filed (false) violation. ( I did not know about it) Aug 17, was expiration/renewal. I went there and they arrested me (in the crowdwd courtroom)!! Charges were dismissed at my hearing. (There was no violation) But RO got renewed (because the accusation). I questioned personal jurisdiction. Judge only noted that I had not waived that issue but renewed it. I feel violated in many ways. But no one listens to me. I don't know what to do. Please help me with suggestions. Thank you very much. ,
