The fact that the violation was "consensual" is of no relevance. A restraining order is not a contract between the abuser and the victim; it is a court order. The victim has -no authority- to modify the terms of the order without going to court. In Ohio, a person who violates a restraining order can be fined up to five thousand dollars. They may also be found to be in contempt of court and imprisoned.

If you live in Gallia County it would probably mean lunch in the jail. We are now going to court for a third violation of a Criminal Protective Order and the secretary from the Prosecuting Atty office tells me he probably wont get any jail time because he has not been convicted of a felony!! Go figure!
