If you have a restraining order on someone can you contact them?

A proper legal answer is, it depends on how the restraining order is worded. If it is merely an order to stay x feet (or yards or whatever) from the complainant, other contact is not prohibited. If it is a "no contact" order, which often is worded to prohibit telephone calls, mail, directly or through third parties (friends or relatives), then no. If either or both of you had/have attorneys, you can have contact through them. If contact is needed for medical or some other emergency purpose, and time is of the essence, you would probably be OK contacting the other person. If there are children involved, there should have been specific provisions for contact regarding them.
Otherwise, the order would have to be modified to allow contact.

∙ 8y agoThe Order of Protection absolutely forbids anyone , even family members, from contacting you in any way, shape, or form with the purpose of discussing or encouraging communication with the recipient of the protective order. You should consult your attorney or the judge if extenuating circumstances exist- such as you have a close relationship with a family member that you'd like to continue- but MOST protective orders forbid anyone to approach you, no matter who they are, "on behalf of" the recipient of the protective order. This can be shaky ground, and this is why, to prevent misunderstandings, all parties must be SURE as to what they CAN and CANNOT do under this order!

∙ 13y agoNo. A restraining order works BOTH ways. The restrained party cannot contact you, either directly or through someone else. And the same restriction applies to the person who sought the order. Obviously this provision is in place to prevent harassment.

∙ 15y agoUnless contact of ANY TYPE WHATOSEVER is prohibited by the order, yes, third party contact is permissible.
