A: Get out right away. You could eventually end up in jail for violating the restraining order.

A: more info needed.

if this only criminal case you have had? any prior violations? record? violence?

you should see a lawyer asap to explain and be prepared to deal with the police if they come....however, it is a violation.

your lawyer will probably explain that to the court... I am hopeful the court would be more understanding during COVID 19.
