Restraining Orders in Arizona
A court may issue a restraining order without a criminal complaint or arrest. In some cases, a restraining order is needed to protect an individual from harm. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes a restraining order is wrongfully requested and the defendant must defend himself or herself against a false allegation in court. Restraining orders can be either limited or a full stay-away order, which forbids all contact.
If there is a full order of protection filed against you, all forms of contact are forbidden, including:
- Telephone calls
- Texts
- Email or other forms of digital communication
- Visits
A violation of a restraining order can result in arrest and charges of misdemeanor or felony criminal contempt, depending on the situation and nature of the contact. For this reason, you should seek the advice of an experienced criminal defense lawyer in Tucson.
