Restraining orders and orders of protection need to be taken seriously. Even if there is no basis for the order, it is important to respect the terms of the order and to challenge it through the proper legal channels. Any form of communication with the party who requested the restraining order, including simple text messages, may be considered a violation and could result in your being jailed. If a restraining order has been taken out against you or if you have been accused of a restraining order violation, get a strong legal defense right away.

Seek Knowledgeable Legal Advice Before Taking Any Other Actions

The charge of violating a restraining order is very serious. While occasionally the charge stems from a serious threat or assault, more commonly the allegation arises from fairly benign communications such as emails or messages passed through by friends.

If you are the subject of a restraining order, it is extremely important that you fully understand all of its terms, and that you seek legal advice before you do anything that will result in criminal charges. If you are charged, the case must be properly defended in order to achieve the most favorable outcome and to avoid serious consequences.
