How do I get them to drop a no contact order in a domestic violence case?
Following a problem with his medication my Husband became paranoid and violent.I called the police and have been very clear from the beginning that this isn’t normal for him.He has no criminal history. We have a special needs child who is distressed by not seeing dad and another baby on the way so this no contact order is horrible for my family.How can I get this removed as soon as humanly possible?Is there a form I can fill out? I called the county prosecutor’s office but all I can get is a secretary who says it’s all up to the judge.

If you are the victim of domestic violence and you wish to lift the no contact order, you will have to contact the local prosecutor or Judge who issued the no contact order and request that it be amended to a No Assautlive Contact order (NAC). A NAC order means that your husband can come into contact with you and the family, but if at any point he becomes violent or assaultive, then he can be arrested for violating the NAC order.
