# What happens if I violate a no-contact order in Rhode Island?

Violating a no-contact order in Rhode Island is a criminal offense. The consequences can include immediate arrest, revocation of bail, a new and separate criminal charge for the violation, jail time, and extended probation. A violation can also seriously damage your position in the underlying criminal case. If you have been charged with a violation, contact an attorney immediately, especially if bail revocation is being pursued.
