A stalking no contact order is a legal document issued by a court to protect a person from abuse. The stalking no contact order is issued by the court and is designed to protect the person from further harm. The order may restrict the respondent’s behavior, such as prohibiting them from contacting or approaching the victim. These orders can vary depending on the case and will be penned according to the discretion of the judge.
Ancillary effects of a stalking no contact order include those consequences which are not explicit in the title of the order. Some of these may include the respondent of the order being ineligible for certain types of benefits or programs, the loss of certain freedoms, or aspects that affect fundamental rights. Here, we’ll discuss a few ancillary aspects of the stalking no contact order.
Impact on Judgments of Character for Court Cases and Civil Institutions
It may seem to be a subjective issue, but the reality is that one of the worst effects of a stalking no contact order is its impact on the layperson and legal authority’s view of your character. Having a stalking no contact order taken out on you means that a judge believed that you acted as an abuser and this reality will, unfortunately, follow you throughout your life. Potential employers may believe you to be an unscrupulous or even an immoral person, and police officers will be likely to consider you a person with an incriminating history.
The effect of having a stalking no contact order against you and on your record cannot be overstated. It is of paramount importance to fight against the judgment in the first place or to otherwise have the order removed from your record.
Ineligibility for Various State Agencies
A stalking no contact order on your record may impact your employment opportunities generally at the discretion of the employer, but various state institutions and programs will consider you ineligible from the start. Several state agencies and beneficial programs do not accept individuals who are the object of any type of restraining order. This fact may be tough to swallow, but it is the unfortunate truth. We here at Glasgow & Olsson know that it is likely that you have been misunderstood, and we do not question your character, but you must legally combat your restraining order so that we can restore your community standing.
