How much trouble will my ex-boyfriend get for violating his probation?
My ex-boyfriend assaulted me when I was 17. He was put on probation for 2 years and ordered not to have any contact with me. Well we did and now I’m pregnant (19 years old now).

He could get in to a lot of trouble. Even if you went to court and tried to say that you consented to the contact (which under these circumstances I hope was the case) it would not matter. A no contact order is taken very seriously under the law and Judge's do not particularly like it when their orders are violated. It could revoke his probation and he could be sentenced based upon the original charge. I would strongly suggest that he seek help from an attorney n this matter as soon as he can. And I would stay away from him for the time being. May I also suggest that after the smoke clears you get some counseling. He should have for the last 2 years. His charge is not to be taken lightly and babies can create much stress sometimes in a relationship along with the joy that they bring. Good luck to you both.
