If there was a court order terminating the NCO or the time period for the NCO had expired, then the person cannot get in trouble.
If this person has a child in this relationship, the person should start the process to get a parenting plan. Because the other party seems happy to exploit DV, your friend should definitely hire an experienced family law attorney. 1 person marked this answer as good
