Valid for the US only: The answer will depend on the specifics of the order and the statutes in your state. However, in most states, a restraining order (more accurately called a "protection order") is a court mandated document which can only be altered under the authorization of a judge. Neither the protected party or the restrained party are permitted to interpret or alter or ignore any provision of the order. Therefore, if a no contact order is issued, and the protected party invites the restrained party over for a quick chat "just to sort things out" both parties are in violation and , in some states if it is a DV related order, both parties MUST be arrested for violation of the court order.
You will be held in contempt of court and, depending on the court which issued the order (civil or criminal), you could either be fined (civil) or fined AND jailed (criminal).
Then both are in contempt and both can be appropriately sanctioned.
What happens if both parties violate a restraining order?
He is not allowed to violate his own restraining order. Notify the Sheriff's Office or police that he is in violation of a restraining order (you should have a copy of it) and show it to them when they arrive. They will arrest him if they find him in violation. You can also notify the judge that issued the order of the circumstances.
Yes. Your g/f's mom is her legal guardian and can get a restraining order against your regardless of your age. If you violate the restraining order both you and you parents will be legally liable.
If it can be proven that the un-served party "knew" of the restraining order, the fact that they did not receive (or avoided) service of it, is not a defense.
The case would be drop
If you have a permenant restraining no contact order then your ex-husband commenting on your facebook picture definitely violates the terms of the restraining order because he is not suppose to contact you at all and commenting on your facebook picture would be a form of contact.
(in the US) A restraining order is an order issued by the court. If you disobey/break the court's order you are subject to immediate arrest.See discussion page:
2 words, Restraining order
call the police asap!!!!!!
In most states it is a first degree misdemeanor ... so your looking at a year! Don't violate!
The easiest way is to break the restraining order...then you will know.... Depending on the state you have to be served the restraining order. If you think you might have one, it is best just to assume you do have one and avoid breaking it...
No evidence is necessary for a temporary restraining order. What happens is when you go into court and get a restraining order they give a temporary restraining order until trial. You can then push the date back a few times and extend it. Some people would argue this is how you get custody of children in a divorce situation. For a long term restraining order you will need documented cases of abuse.
