Q: If a no-contact order is violated in a criminal case by the defendant,can the victim get in trouble by taking his call?
This is a domestic violence case involving my 20 yr old daughter. The judge imposed the order in the beginning and said it would add to his charges if violated. He calls her from prison daily violating the order. Can she get in trouble by taking these calls? These calls are coming to her cell phone in my home. I own the phone.

A: You should notify the State Attorney that he's calling and violating the Order. Keep a record of the calls. Your daughter should not speak with him, but if she does the only thing she should say is "don't call me". Inmate calls from jails are recorded, so there will be a record.
