If I am on bail/bond with a no contact provision, what happens if the person who had me arrested and charged current no contact, contacts me?
I was arrested for a disorderly by my wife. She signed the 72hr no contact. The court hopes I’ll take a DV plea, I won’t, and has the current bail/bond set at “no contact” I filed a motion to change to NVC, court denied. My wife is making contact w/me, I have not responded. Can she get in trouble? How does the “no contact” law work?

If there is a mutual "no contact" order in place between you and the person who made a report against you and had you arrested, then you need to contact law enforcement immediately about this unwanted contact by the third person. Given the circumstances that you are in pending this criminal matter, I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney as to how to handle any future unwanted contact with you by the person who made the report against you.
