# Can a no-contact order be modified in Rhode Island?

Yes. Either party's attorney can petition the criminal court to modify a no-contact order, for example, to allow limited communication for co-parenting purposes, or to permit a one-time interaction such as retrieving personal belongings with a police escort. The court will evaluate the request and the circumstances of the underlying case before deciding whether to grant the modification.
