Domestic Abuse No Contact Orders (DANCO) in Minnesota
We Are MN DANCO Lawyers Get a free case evaluationModifying a Domestic Abuse No Contact Order (DANCO)
In some cases, a DANCO can be extremely inconvenient and may be unnecessary. If you are a witness or non-arrested party in a domestic disturbance, you may not want your friend, family member, or significant other to have a DANCO barring them from being around you. Maybe the incident was overblown and exaggerated, maybe alcohol caused things to get out of hand, or maybe it was simply a one-time occurrence that you did not view as a threat. Whatever the case, an attorney can help you attempt to petition the court to remove the DANCO.
This is a complicated process, and it’s never easy to have a DANCO modified. They are intended to help keep those who can’t speak up for themselves safe, so you’ll have an uphill battle if you want to modify a DANCO in Minnesota.

Domestic Abuse No Contact Order Violation
You must abide by the DANCO even if it temporarily prevents you from seeing your family, no matter how inconvenient and painful that may be. Of course, that’s not always what ends up happening. If you’ve reached a point where you have violated a DANCO, you need representation from an aggressive and knowledgeable criminal defense attorney. A DANCO violation is its own criminal offense and often comes with its own significant repercussions (prison time, fines, etc). DANCO violations are enhanceable offenses, which means that you can be charged with a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony crime, depending on prior record.
