Sometimes, if you have been singled out by the criminal justice system, even well-meaning gestures can be considered cause for concern. When people in Wisconsin are arrested on charges of domestic violence, they are often required to follow the conditions set forth in a no-contact order. Actions which are considered violations of these orders may surprise you.
No-contact orders are often set as conditions for bail and probation. They also function as elements of restraining orders or orders of protection. Essentially, a no-contact order means just that. Whoever has been accused of domestic violence is required to avoid contact with whomever the order protects. Usually, orders protect the alleged victim of domestic violence.
