If I have a stay away order issued against me and the person it concerns wishes to be involved with me, what is my recourse?
In KY, I have a stay away order issued for a period of 2 years; I have 4+ months remaining. I now live in TN and the person (who also lives in tn.) wishes to have on-going contact with me. The issuance was given when she was a minor and she had no say. She is currently 19. But I don’t want to go back to jail.

And you are so right to ask this question before the contact order expires because you could indeed go back to jail should you violate it. By the time she tries to make application to the court to remove it - if the law even allows for that which I HIGHLY doubt - the four months will be over with and then she can make the decision as an adult and for herself. Please, do not do something foolish and violate the order. Try your best to stay as far away from her as possible given the circumstances. The time will pass quickly and so will the possibility of your going back t jail. Good luck.
