Q: How can I lift a no-contact order from a court in Kentucky after an altercation and avoid further jail time?
I got into a drunken argument with my boyfriend, during which I hit him, and the neighbors called the police. I spent the night in jail and was bonded out, but a no-contact order was issued. My boyfriend did not press charges and does not want this order. I have a court date in a month. How can I get the no-contact order lifted, and will I need to serve more jail time?
A: Youll need to redocket the case, have your boyfriend come to court and ask the judge to make the no contact order a no unlawful no contact order.
