A proper legal answer is, it depends on how the restraining order is worded. If it is merely an order to stay x feet (or yards or whatever) from the complainant, other contact is not prohibited. If it is a "no contact" order, which often is worded to prohibit telephone calls, mail, directly or through third parties (friends or relatives), then no. If either or both of you had/have attorneys, you can have contact through them. If contact is needed for medical or some other emergency purpose, and time is of the essence, you would probably be OK contacting the other person. If there are children involved, there should have been specific provisions for contact regarding them.
Otherwise, the order would have to be modified to allow contact.
If a person has a restraining or protective order prohibiting the from making contact with a specific individual, all contact is prohibited, including social media.
they can be charged with contempt of court - violation of restraining order. The actual penalties vary case by case.
Traditionally the no contact order and restraining order are synonymous with each other. however, some judges will also write the no contact on the court paperwork. If that is the case then it does not expire. However, if he did not then the no contact dissolves when the restraining or expires
Of course, anybody can contact anybody, unless there is an actual restraining order issued by a court that forbids someone from contacting someone.
A Restraining Order.
Yes. Fill it out at your court clerks office and it will be served on them before they get out. That way it will be illegal for them to contact you upon release. If you are the victim, and the reason they are in jail, then most states have a victim liaison at the court. Ask you court clerk to have them help you.
no. why would you even want to contact a person you gave a restraining order to? ain't that the whole point of RESTRAINING ORDER!?!?!
A "Restraining Order."
If the restraining order is in place, you can and should not reply. Block them and do not let them into your home--you are always liable until they remove the restraining order.

What would prevent that? You are bound by the restraining order, not the person who obtained it.
If someone wants to vacate a restraining order it means to not have it exist anymore.
