Third-Party Contact

Having a friend or another person check on or contact the victim, which is prohibited as subverting the protection order.

What Right Law Group attorneys say

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
