A:
You should contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible. There are a number of questions that need to be answered to give you adequate advice. Had you been served with the civil order of protection? Has she filed a police report? Have you been charged criminally with violating it?
In the interim, if you have been served and there is an order of protection, you should have NO contact with her whatsoever even if she initiates it, including no email, no phone calls, no IMs, no text messaging, etc.
Again, contact an experienced attorney asap.
