Restraining Order Communication Rules

Summary

In New Jersey, the person who initiated a restraining order should not contact the person they filed it against, either directly or indirectly. Such actions could potentially invalidate the restraining order but may not necessarily lead to a violation. Indirect communication through a third party could also potentially violate the terms of the restraining order. For specific legal advice, it is best to consult with a local attorney.
