Rule 3.03 Violation of domestic violence orders
Without limiting a party's choice of remedies, alleged violations of Domestic Violence Orders should be referred to the County Attorney's Office for possible prosecution. Should the County Attorney's office choose not to prosecute or the alleged victim decides they would rather proceed by way of a contempt proceeding, then in that event the alleged violation may be initiated by a motion to show cause and be placed on the District Court docket for contempt proceedings. Nothing in this rule shall affect law enforcement's ability to bring a criminal charge for a violation of a protective order committed in his or her presence.
