What if there is an Emergency Protection Order or other no contact order in place?
No contact orders include Emergency Protection Orders, King’s Bench Protection Orders, restraining orders or peace bonds. When making decisions, the court must consider if a no contact order exists. But the court is not required to make a specific decision when there is family violence. The parties must follow all court orders – including parenting, support and no contact orders. If the court makes an order that contradicts (goes against) another order, you can ask the court to clarify what they mean. Last Reviewed: January 2022
