The court takes no-contact orders very seriously. Should you be accused of violating such an order, depending on your legal circumstance, you could face consequences civilly and criminally. For example, If the no-contact order is part of a release agreement while a criminal charge is pending, you could face the revocation of the release agreement and contempt of court charges. If the no-contact order is a condition of probation, you could face an allegation of violating probation. Violating probation can carry jail time or even prison time if your probation is a part of a "downward departure" sentence.
You may be able to seek a no-contact order through a stalking protective order or a restraining order, but there are specific qualifications necessary to obtain such orders that may not apply to your circumstance.
