Q: Did my friend violate her no contact order if the person contacted her first.
My friend has a no contact order against her in Citrus County, Florida from her ex boyfriend. He repeatedly found ways to contact her even though she blocked him. He eventually told her he dropped the no contact order. So she talked to him and eventually moved back in with him. Well when she found out he didn't drop the no contact order she attempted to leave. He confiscated her phone, ID, and all her belongings. And is now threatening her to get back with him or he will contact the state attorney and tell them she violated the order and call her probation officer and get her vop'ed. What are her options in this matter?
A: She should immediately report the situation to the court. If he still has her phone, but she was able to tell you about it, I suggest you contact the state attorney and the court (i.e.: the judge's judicial assistant)..
