A restraining order is usually filed for civil reasons such as divorces, relationships that ended poorly, or any other situation where a person feels threatened. A no-contact order is usually upheld because of criminal reasons.
Both forms of legal action prohibit contact by one party to the other. One of the main differences is that restraining orders often last up to one year and are temporary. No-contact agreements are binding contracts that can be removed only by the district attorney or the judge who is working the case.
If the contact continues, it could possibly be illegal and the victim making the contact could be charged with criminal harassment. A defendant that responds to unwanted communication from a victim can be charged with breaching the no contact order, whether he/ she responds to the communication directly or indirectly.
The court will need a complete picture of your case to make a fair decision about your restraining order. If there are any previous restraining orders or family court issues in your past with the respondent, this information must be provided to the court.
A restraining order can be dismissed by the petitioner (the person who filed the restraining order) by the filing of a written request for dismissal. A judge can also dismiss the FAPA order after a hearing on the merits, if the judge finds that there aren't grounds upon which the restraining order can stand.
