    Default What Happesn if You Contact the Protected Person After a Restraining Order Expires

    My question involves restraining orders in the State of: Florida

    I'm going to make a long story as short as possible. An ex was granted a restraining order for one year in 2007. Then she tried to have it placed on me again in June 2008 however I was leaving for the Army and needed it to be gone in order to leave so the judge upon me showing him my enlistment papers and a letter from my recruiter and witnesses who testified to my ex coming out to bars which I frequented and telling me in a provocative manner to not leave and trying to hook up with me, denied her request to place another order against me.

    Now it's been 7 years and I'm back in Florida and no longer in the Army and when I am on Facebook she keeps showing up in the people you may know suggestions. I typically click there x and go on about my day but lately I have wanted to send her a message to just say hi and apologize for my past actions that led to her needing or feeling as though she would want a restraining order.

    If I do this could she file for another order or could I be arrested even though she no longer has one? Are there any legal ramifications of me doing something like this?

    For both your sake and hers, just leave her alone.

    Seriously?

    This person put a restraining order on you, and attempted to apply another one. Despite how long ago it was, use some common sense and avoid them. If they really wanted to communicate with you, she would have sent you something through Facebook. And even then, I wouldn't go anywhere near that person.
