A: Contact your lawyer. See if your lawyer can get the judge to adjust these conditions. I strongly urge you to follow the rules until your attorney can adjust them or work this out for you.
A: I would consult an attorney about asking the judge to modify these conditions. Often judges will change their mind if given valid reasons.
