| tips = In almost all cases, a no <span class="noglossary">contact</span> order prohibits ''direct or indirect communication''. Direct communication includes <span class="noglossary">contact</span> with the complainant in person, by phone, Skype, email, texting, etc. Indirect communication means sending messages to that person through a <span class="noglossary">third party</span> such as a friend or children. Remember that you are at risk. If you are found communicating with the complainant (even if they start or want the <span class="noglossary">contact</span>) you — not the complainant — may be charged with the criminal offence of breach of bail or breach of probation. If you absolutely need to communicate something to the complainant, speak with a lawyer first.}} | | tips = In almost all cases, a no <span class="noglossary">contact</span> order prohibits ''direct or indirect communication''.
