Can A Petitioner Violate Their Own Order Of Protection?

No. Once an order of protection has been granted against you, it is NOT a violation if the petitioner contacts you. The petitioner is not under any order from the court, but you are. Any response by you is a crime. Do NOT respond. Your best option is to contact an order of protection lawyer. If your response is reported, you will be arrested for violating the protection order. However, you may have options such as getting an order of protection against them or using their contact to petition the court to remove the order against you.
