Violation of a Protection Order

“if it comes out that you have been trying to influence that other person in any way, or even that you've been contacting them, you could be charged with a new criminal offense. It's called a violation of protection order, and it's a class one misdemeanor, and then you just have this whole process starting over a second time.”

“a question i get asked pretty frequently is do dv defendants have protection orders levied against them or in other words if you're charged with an act of domestic violence will you have a protection order issued against you the short answer is yes the even shorter answer is everyone who's charged with a crime in colorado has a protection order mandatorily injure against them the difference is is that if there's an act of domestic violence alleged the protection orders become much more robust and there's a much higher likelihood that you could get into further trouble and pick up additional criminal charges if you violate that protection order”

“the problem is if you do violate that protection order you can have another charge levied against you a violation of a protection order charged as another act of domestic violence it's a brand new case and now you're even deeper in so these protection orders are incredibly important to be aware of and know kind of what you're dealing with when you have a domestic violence protection order”
