We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What are the consequences of breaking a no contact order?

California Penal Code Section 166 covers contempt of court for violating protective orders. Violations can result in misdemeanor charges and up to one year in county jail. For domestic violence orders, repeat violations can become felonies.

Does a restraining order show up on a background check in Oregon?

Yes. A restraining order is a public court record. It is entered into a statewide law enforcement database.

What to say to a judge to drop a no contact order?

I ask that you kindly consider the removal of this no-contact order, as it is my belief that it is no longer necessary for either of us. If required, I am open to attending a hearing or providing further information to assist in this request.

Is a no contact order the same as a restraining order in Oregon?

Unlike a restraining order which exists to protect someone from harm, a no-contact order is filed when criminal action has already taken place. With a restraining order, no previous altercation needs to have happened.

What are the grounds for denying a RO?

Insufficient Evidence Unfortunately, many petitions are denied because they lack the evidence required to meet this standard. Here are some examples of evidence that can help: Police reports detailing incidents of violence or harassment. Photos of injuries or property damage.
