Does receiving a friend request from his family count as them trying to contact me on his behalf, even if I don’t know that they are sending the request for him
Case Rating: *
Receiving friend requests from a family member of the individual mentioned in the CPO might be considered indirect contact, especially if the order states they cannot contact you on his behalf. However, it's best to consult local law enforcement or the court for a specific interpretation of your CPO.
