Cpo Violation Legal Guidance

Summary

In Ohio, a Civil Protection Order (CPO) may be violated if the respondent causes or encourages third-party contact. If the father of your child gave your number to his cousin and encouraged him to contact you, it could be considered a violation. Even if the cousin claims he got your number elsewhere, any indication of encouragement from the father may still constitute a violation. Offering money for a picture of your daughter could further support the case. Review your CPO terms and consider consulting a local attorney for personalized advice.

Today is my daughters birthday, and I have a CPO against her father for both me and her. Her father’s cousin texted my phone number and also called me when he texted me he said that he wanted to tell her happy birthday and then said that he has a couple hundreds in money for her if I send him a picture of her. Basically bribing me with money to send him a picture of her. I do not know him well enough, and he has never had my number so the only person he could’ve gotten it from is her father. Is this a violation of my civil protection order?
In Ohio, a Civil Protection Order (CPO) may include provisions that prohibit third parties from contacting the protected person if the contact is initiated by the respondent. Here are some points to consider:
- If the CPO specifies that third-party contact is prohibited, this could be a violation.
- If her father instructed his cousin to contact you, it might be considered indirect contact.
