“direct meaning i want to be able to stand next to my spouse have a conversation with them touch them hug them be in the same house with them or if it's a little bit more of a tumultuous relationship they can ask for indirect contact so no in-person contact but there can be texting emailing everything that is allowed by the judge uh indirectly there can also be the lifting of the vacate the home portion so if you're told that you can't be at home you can actually request that that portion be modified to allow you to return to your home”
