A:
When a judge orders "Noncontact between each other" for you and the other party, it means that both of you are prohibited from having any form of contact. This includes direct communication like phone calls or messages, as well as indirect contact through third parties or social media.
Both you and the other person are legally required to avoid interactions that could lead to further conflict or complications in the case. Violating this order can result in legal consequences for either party involved.
It's important to fully understand the specific terms of the order, as they can vary depending on the situation. If you're unsure about any details, consider consulting a legal professional to clarify your obligations. Adhering to the order helps ensure that the legal process proceeds smoothly and protects your interests.
