The simple answer is that there is no typical sentencing. A second misdemeanor violation carries a maximum penalty of 365 days in jail and $5000.00 fine. The penalty imposed is determined by the facts of the case, the recommendations of the prosecutor and the defense counsel, the consideration of the judge and the criminal history of the defendant . Usual outcomes vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction but your local attorney will be able to negotiate a deal that is consistent with those in your area.
A third violation of a no contact order is a felony and the sentencing guidelines are set forth by statute.
