When a relationship has deteriorated so badly that one party obtains a restraining order on the other, the one who has been ‘restrained’ had better read all of the fine print ten or twenty times. ‘No contact’ means just that, times a thousand. Don’t call, don’t email, don’t talk to mutual friends, don’t drive by the house and don’t go to the same grocery store. If the other person is headed your way in public, go the other way as quickly as possible. Don’t try to talk to the kids unless it’s been approved by the court.
Very little proof is generally required for someone to obtain a temporary restraining order. Even if everything claimed as the basis for the order is 100% false, disobeying any part of it can lead to immediate and serious trouble. An accidental meeting at the mall could lead to arrest. Before this happens, it would be a very good idea to retain one of the best Criminal Attorneys in Brainerd. An experienced lawyer will be needed at a hearing where a judge decides if the order should become permanent.
Simply having a permanent restraint order could be enough to result in the loss of a job. Some people end up moving and breaking all ties in order to comply with the order. A much better idea would be to listen to an experienced attorney’s advice and find the most practical way to resolve the situation. The situation could have begun as a bad argument, but once the court is involved, the rules have changed.
