Questions
-
What Happens If I Violate A Restraining Order?
Answer
If a protective order has been filed against you as a result of a domestic violence accusation, you must remain a certain distance from the accuser. If you violate the restraining order, you will be arrested and taken into police custody. If you would like changes to be made to your restraining order, you must speak with the judge who originally issued the protective order.

Are There Alternatives to Serving Time in Prison or Jail?

While alternatives to incarceration are available, retaining legal assistance as early on as possible will decrease your chances of being sentenced with prison or jail time in the first place.
