Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Re: No Contact

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

If I understand the question correctly, you have been ordered not to have any contact with another person which is often termed a "stay away order". If so, there is generally no language that would prohibit you from turning off your satellite tv or cell phone service. If you are suggesting that you are paying for the other person's service, I do not think you have to continue to pay for it and can shut if off unless it was specifically addressed and answered by the Court in the order.
