Re: restraining orders
Would have to know what the injunction forbids you from doing. I assume it injoins you from going to the man's property and possibly from calling his house. If you disobey a legal court order, then you can be held in contempt of court. Can't say how the court would decide to enforce it, but again would assume you would be ordered before the court to show cause why you should not be found in contempt.
