Q: How can I get permission to talk/contact defendant abouy pregnancy when we have a no contact restraining order?
As a victim of a dumb domestic violence case with a no contact with restraining order made by judge which is I against my wishes and 24 weeks pregnant. I already filed for a non harassment order right after first court date... But how can I get permission to talk/contact the defendant in jail about pregnancy? The gas station worker called the cops. He didn't put hands on me just my purse trying to take it from me. We swung around. The worker got scared for me . The defendant is my boyfriend/baby dad
A: You should always keep your safety and the safety of the baby in mind. There is a protection order in place for a reason. However, you can ask the prosecutor to modify the protection order in order to allow discussion about children.
