No Contact with Victim

Alexis explains: "contact means you can't go home if you share the same home you can't text them you can't call them and you can't have third-party contact"

Alexis explains: "for a modification in a domestic violence case you can actually ask to basically make the protection order the same as a normal criminal protection order by lifting the no contact portion there are a number of different ways that the no contact portion is listed in there but generally speaking people will ask for either direct or indirect contact"

Alexis explains: "for domestic violence criminal charges a mandatory order enters saying hey you cannot have contact with this person you cannot be at the home where they are even if it's your own home you have to vacate the home you can have any contact that means any contact like texting chatting face timing we see a lot of people trying to snapchat that's not allowed either and you can't have indirect contact"

Alexis explains: "judges will allow or at least consider lifting the no contact portion so as we discussed in previous videos every single time someone is charged with a criminal offense there's always a protection order in place that's never going to be lifted including in dv cases the difference between domestic violence protection orders versus other run-of-the-mill protection orders is that domestic violence is a little bit beefier like we talked about where the named victim is listed and no contact is allowed"

Right Law Group's guide explains: "This is a critical window of opportunity to secure their release. • Jail Phone Calls Are Recorded: Any conversation your loved one has on a jail phone is recorded and can be used by the prosecution."

Alexis explains: "the typical example that we see with a domestic violence case is let's say a husband and wife if the husband is charged with an act of domestic violence there is a protection order that automatically enters saying you cannot have contact with your victim in other words your wife and contact means you can't go home if you share the same home you can't text them you can't call them and you can't have third-party contact and that means you can't have a friend go to check on them to make sure they're okay because that is you subverting the protection order by having third-party contact"
