How to Prove a No‐Contact Order Has Been Broken

It's important to understand the legal facts and implications of a no‐contact order—legally referred to as an injunction for protection—before attempting to prove that the order has been broken. Though proving a violation of a no‐contact order can be tricky, there are some common steps and strategies you can take to help build your case.

Steps

  1. Gather evidence of contact following the order. This can include e-mails, letters, phone records, texts, pictures, videos, and witness statements.
  2. File a criminal complaint in the county in which the protection order was filed. You can do this with the help of the police, the county clerk of court, or a victim advocate.
  3. Contact the public defender or private attorney assigned to the case if there is one. They will be able to provide you with information about the case and will help investigate the facts of the alleged violation.
  4. Create a record of the complaint you've filed. This includes keeping a log of all contact with the police, including names, contact information, dates and times of conversations, and any notes taken.
  5. Keep any evidence related to the alleged violation. This includes any photos, texts, emails, or other documents that show contact between you and the person accused of violating the order.
  6. If you have a court date, prepare for it. This includes assembling any evidence, witnesses, and other documents needed, as well as finding out any court procedures or local laws that may apply.
  7. Document the outcome of the case and keep a copy of any rulings handed down.
