What is a Civil No Contact Order?
A Civil No Contact Order may be obtained after an incident of unwanted sexual conduct and/or penetration in which the offending party knew the contact was unwanted. There are no prior relationship qualifications. The requirements to qualify for a Civil No Contact Order against another person are as follows:
- The person you are filing against intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly engaged in non-consensual sexual conduct and/or penetration with you or a member of your immediate family/household.
- Contact causes you to feel emotional distress.
- The repeated and unwanted contact causes you reasonable apprehension regarding your personal safety or the safety of members of your immediate family/household.
