a question about domestic battery case?

Were you asked or told not to be there? Was there a "no contact" order issued? This would have to be served on you by a judge or officer /deputy (if you were arrested and jailed, most likely at the time of your release). If there is a no contact order or a protection order (both outline the type of contact you are restricted from having) against you then you can be arrested for breaking the order (in AR, without a warrant) if the police are notified. If you do not know whether these things have been issued then they most likely have not. If you are still unsure you should be able contact the agency that arrested you and find out. If you just don't know, then don't risk it. Texting him will leave a "paper trail" that can be used against you in court.

<check with a local atty>

Your question is confusing.

YOU beat HIM?? I have seen it happen, but it's rare.

If that is the case, then yes, you would be violating the "no contact" order (if it's from the Judge) by responding. However, he (baby's father) SHOULD have a visitation schedule place, so he shouldn't have to text you, b/c he should be visiting his kid.

If your question is just wrong, and YOU are the victim, then it depends where the "no contact" came from:

1. If it came from the Judge, and HE cannot have contact with YOU, then he IS violatingthe no contact order. He should be visiting his kid. He is texting you, to worm his way back into your life (remember the Cycle: tension->explosion->honeymoon phase->tension..etc.???) Oh-"no contact" orders are generally ONE WAY: HE cannot contact YOU, but YOU can contact HIM.

2. If it was advice and it came from a DV counselor or Victim's Advocate, then it was to keep HIM out of YOUR life, so that you can move on from the domestic battery. You won't get in trouble, but you are opening the door to a world of hurt.

He doesn't care about the baby. If he cared about the baby, he would have a visitation schedule and he'd be seeing his kid. He wants to see YOU, so he can continue to control and manipulate you.

I think you need to ask for clarification of no contact. Unless someone actually reported that you are still having contact, then no you won't. Keep in mind, that he might be trying to set you up.

There is a reason you were told not to have contact with the person! but if you insist ask you lawyer, better yet get ahold of the presiding judge and ask him or her.

Yes,you are not suppose to have any contact with him ,Plus why would you want too.He don't care about the baby,or you would not be in this situation.

You will likely rot in Leavenworth.

No contact means ---- NO CONTACT!!!!
