When an individual is charged with assault, the court will most likely issue a pre-trial no-contact order.  This means that it can be in place before the outcome of your case.  If you are convicted of assault or related charges, the court most likely extends the no-contact order post-conviction.  Many times, if you and the alleged victim, in this case, were living together, you may be restrained from going back to your shared home.  If you share children in common, you have a new set of immediate issues.  Our office has helped many individuals at this phase of the case find the right solution to get them through the remainder of the case.  Depending on the circumstances of the case, it is possible to find a way to have it terminated.  It does take a skilled and experienced lawyer to navigate these issues for you at whatever stage you are facing to get you on a path that allows you to resume daily life.
