If while split my husband got a no contact order but we now want to try to work on our marriage, how do we get around doing so with a no contact order in place?

I missed my court case but he showed up. I wasn’t able to make it due to no car or money to travel 5 hrs away. He tried to get it dropped but they didn’t do it. We want to get back together and stay married but avoid me going to jail.

You both need to have this dropped. If there is a method to go to legal aid and inquire what needs to be done, that would be the best way. If the order is against you, your husband needs to go to legal aid to prepare the proper motions to have this matter dropped. If this is pursuant to a criminal complaint or charges against you, it may be more difficult to get it dropped but your lawyer will then need to discuss this with the prosecutor.
