violation of restraining order

can I might be arrested if my ex called me and invited me over to try an work out our differences. We get into a dissagreement, as i'm opening my car door to leave, I look up just in time to see a full bottle of water before it hit me in the face. As a result my glasses were broken & my eye is black an blue. This really ne needs to be reported. If I report this will I be arrested as well?

Re: violation of restraining order

Based on the facts in your story, you will not be arrested. However, I believe you are leaving something out. The suject line refers to a restraining order. Is it an expired or active order? Against her? Against you? Against someone else? If she is violating a restraining order, she will be arrested. If you are, you may be.

Re: violation of restraining order

Assuming the restraining order you refer to is to keep you away from your wife, you absolutely can be arrested if it calls for no contact with her.

You don't really need to report your broken glasses and your black eye, unless you are terribly fond of jail food.

Re: violation of restraining order

Any contact with the subject of a restraining order can and most likely will get you charged with violation of a restraining order. If you do get reported by your ex and the cops come to arrest you, be cooperative but under no circumstances make any kind of a statement to them concerning any contact with her, simply say you want to discuss this with your attorney before answering any of their questions. Good luck.
