If someone has an order of protection on someone else are they allowed to contact the person they have the order against?
Question Details:
Wife has O of P on husband but she keeps calling and texting him. When he texts back, he is arrested. Content of the text is not threatening. They have two children and she is using this to get him arrested thinking she will get the house in the divorce. They have lived together 10 years but have only been married 1 month. To me this is entrapment and highly unfair to the husband.

It may not be fair, but the simple fact of the matter is that if the order of protection stipulates that the husband may not contact the wife by text under any circumstances, then it really doesn't matter what the wife does. The husband may not reply. That's how a typical, overworked, busy court is going to view the matter. The order of protection says no texting. The husband sent a text. The husband is therefore in violation of the order of protection. The simple answer for the husband is to not reply.
