# Can I go to my own home if I have a no-contact order against me?

Generally, no, if the protected person lives at that address, returning to the home is a violation of the order, even if you own or lease the property. If you need to retrieve personal belongings from a shared residence, contact your attorney, who can arrange for a police escort or petition the court for a one-time exception. Do not return to the property without explicit court authorization.
