Q: No-contact TPO and Bond condition with the petitioner. The petitioner vacated the order, can I file a bond modification
If the defendant has a No-contact TPO and a no-contact bond order, and if the petitioner successfully vacated the TPO, would it also affect the Bond conditions and if not, can I file a motion to modify to remove the no-contact bond order based solely on the vacated TPO?
A: The TPO and the bond order are separate and stand on their own. As such, even if the TPO is vacated, the bond order would still be applicable. You can request a bond modification but I would recommend that you produce more evidence/argument in favor of the modification. Simply basing the modification on the TPO being vacated, especially if the TPO was vacated b/c the petitioner failed to show up for court, is not likely to have any impact on the judge. Good luck
