assault and battery stetted case

I was the states witness against my husband the case was put on a stet docket. no contact for one year. we have decided to try and work things out, but there is a no contact order. I contacted the state 2 weeks after the stet(end of sept) to have this changed they set a date for jan. but it wasnt the same judge the new date is now march 25th this has been going on for months just to have the no contact lifted. What can i do so that we dont have to wait til march, I dont want him to maybe run the risk of jail by violating the order. thankyou

Re: assault and battery stetted case

There is a real practical solution. Your lawyer can prepare a consent order and submit to the Judge with cc to the State and get the Judge to sign before trial or in chambers and after all, aren't you the real party in interest anyway? Without you they can't make the case. Call a lawyer and discuss. What county is it in? was it District or Circuit Court? Did your Husb. have a lawyer at the hearing.?
