No contact order

The general rule is that a no contact order will be entered by a judge to remain in effect during the pendancy of a criminal prosecution.  Therefore, once the prosecution ends, the no-contact order is generally lifted.  While this is subject to some exceptions, such as if the judge imposes a conditional sentence (and one of the conditions is to refrain from having contact), in most instances the general rule applies.  Thus, your first step should be to find out whether the criminal matter has been resolved in the last 9 months, and if so, to confirm whether the no contact order no longer, in fact, exists.  You can do this my calling the clerk's office at the court.  If, on the other hand, the case is still pending, an attorney may need to file a motion to modify the existing no contact order.  Good luck.
