Order Of Protection Clarification

Summary

If an order of protection specifies no contact with certain individuals, contacting someone not listed may not be a violation. However, if the order includes a clause about not harassing anyone associated with the protected individuals, it could still be considered harassment depending on the context. In Hawaii, orders typically include no contact with listed individuals, no harassment, and instructions for retrieving belongings. If the case is terminated, the order may no longer be in effect, but its advisable to verify this with legal counsel to ensure compliance.
