Q: How long will a court order a nco in a domestic violence case in Washington state? And can we ever get married
Neither one of us called the police. The call came from a friend in another state. I told the police i did not need help when they came and asked them to leave. They claim i made a statement but i dont remember due to me being drunk and impaired off my medication. Just as i was when this so called incident happened... I dont even remember the whole incident. My fiance is being charged with assault 2 unlawful imprisonment and interfering with reporting dv. The police also stated they witness injuries on me but there is documented injuries on a doctors report on my fiance that day from when i had this mental break down being drunk and my blackout.

A no contact order has to have an expiration date. Could be (in your situation) 5 years, or 10 years. They also can be modified or lifted earlier than that by a judge.
Why the charge was filed, why the NCO was imposed, and what is likely to happen with the case are all complicated questions.You really should talk to a lawyer in person to get reliable answers.
