While you may have every reason to believe she is having an affair, now that she has the papers taken out against you (no contact order), you may not under any circumstances contact her or you can face jail time and criminal charges. You should call the state's attorneys office at the court where the restraining order/no contact order was obtained to find out how long it is in place for. Ususally, these things expire after 60 days or so. Also, i would confront your husband, not the other woman as it is his fault, not hers, that the affair is going on. Also, do not post anything about her ont he internet as that in and of itself can be constued a a crime in some circumstances.
