Of course not, The party that filed the order should be fined for violation.

No - only the person who violated the order.

NO!

No, the person needs to run away or ignore their contact. Be smart enough to know the situation that you are in.

Any new up dates on the Citi Bank arrests you posted? Did anyone find out why they were arrested?

Yes if the contact is for the purpose of inducing the other party to make contact thereby violating the order.

No, not both. If someone files and is granted a temporary protective order and they make contact w/the defendant then they need to have some consequences. It is something that needs to be done as to stop the misuse of this particular court filing.

Yes, both parties should be held accountable. If you file for a protective order against someone, then make contact with that person you claim to fear, you should be held acocuntable.

Didn't the coffee thing happen before the peace order?

Yes, 12:29. According to what was published in the Daily Times. She tossed the coffee, Ruark filed a criminal complaint and then she filed the peace order.

No contact means no contact on both sides. If the person who filed the order makes the contact the PFA is void.

No, unless it can be proven that the other party somehow instigated or encouraged the contact.
