A: That depends on a number of factors including the specificity of correct information in the OFP. You should discuss the issue directly with a criminal defense attorney. I certainly would NOT suggest that you violate the order and HOPE for the best. That would be a terrible idea.

A: The issue may be one of identification. And that could depend upon a multitude of factors, depending upon the situation. I would not suggest that the Respondent in such a case tempt fate, however.
