A common dilemma faced by those after a CDV arrest is when the alleged victim won't leave a shared residence even though the bond court implemented a no contact order.
Because bond restrictions are not reciprocal there may be very little\nothing that the criminal court system can do to assist a defendant in these cases.
Regaining access to the residence after a CDV arrest may require the services of a property law attorney to file for a legal eviction. Any self help remedies would likely constitute a bond violation and subject the defendant to jail time.
If you are having difficulty in returning home after a CDV arrest due to a no contact bond restriction it is important that you consult with a CDV defense attorney about your situation. There may be other options available to you that can assist in solving this dilemma and keep you in compliance with all bond restrictions.
