This happens often.  The important thing to remember is that the order applies to YOU - so read it carefully and do not violate it!  Alleged victims will sometimes even want to talk or meet with you to discuss issues, even though this violates the order.  Sometimes this is even done intentionally to get the other person started down a terrible path of defending themselves.  DON'T VIOLATE THE ORDER.
