Getting a No Contact Order Lifted
In some cases, lifting a no-contact order after a domestic violence arrest in Fort Walton Beach may be possible. Your defense attorney can file a motion to modify the conditions of your release so that they no longer include the no contact order. Once the motion is filed, a hearing will be scheduled, and the alleged victim in the case will be notified. During the hearing, your attorney will request the lifting of the no contact order.
If the judge agrees, it will be legal for you to have contact with the alleged victim again—though we would caution that you manage that contact with care. Rushing into a confrontation of any kind is a very bad idea. If you are arrested again for a new offense, the no contact order will almost certainly be reinstated—and unlikely to be lifted.
