    Unhappy No Contact Orders in Colorado

    So . . I've been charged with Domestic Violence Assault 3 (the story of what happened is below). My boyfriend contacted the DA and has had some of the no contact order lifted (i.e. we can talk on the phone, email each other and go to public places together for purposes of studying). However, we have been talking on the phone since I got out of jail. I'm considering breaking up with him, because whenever I say or do something he doesn't agree with he threatens to press charges or says he will come to my house (for which he has a key) and then call the cops on me so I go to jail. However, I'm worried about breaking up with him because I'm afraid he'll go to the DA and show that I've broken the no contact order. Also, when I was arrested he lied to the police . . he told them I kneed him in the balls, said I hit him over 20 times and caused his lip to bleed. He has already sent a statement to my lawyer admitting that he lied about all this. If I break up with him he will no doubt take all this back, as he can get into trouble for lying to the police right? My lawyer told me that the DA can also press charges on me for sexual harassment because he said I kneed him in the balls, which is absolutely frightening because he said I would then have to register as a sex offender for the rest of my life.

    I guess I have four questions . .
    1. What is the punishment for breaking a no contact order?
    2. Can he still get me in trouble for breaking the no contact order after it has been modified or lifted?
    3. Is it plausible that the DA will try to get me for sexual harassment if he retracts his statement?
    4. Can he get criminal charges for admitting to lying to the police? Even if he was drunk at the time?

    Thanks

    Default Re: No Contact Orders in Colorado

    If you're out on bond with the noncontact being a condition of the bond, your bond could be revoked, you could be subject to contempt proceedings, and in some states you might be subject to additional criminal charges.

    Obviously you can no longer get in trouble for violating an order that has been lifted, as once it is lifted it is no longer in effect.
