Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

My friend, Kathy has temp guardianship of her grandson. She also has a no contact order for herself on her son, Shane and his wife, Melissa. Through the grapevine, she heard that Shane said they were given visitation for 4 days starting on Christmas day. Her concern is without being served with any papers herself should she take the chance of going to jail for not handing him over or the chance that she goes to jail for handing him over or should she just make sure she's not home Christmas morning.
