If your dad got a court order preventing you from seeing your boyfriend, you or your boyfriend risk being held in contempt of court for a violation of the order. Maybe ask your dad to have a joint therapy session or a meeting with a mutually agreed third party and try to work our your differences.

It is not clear what is meant by a no contact order. However, since you are a minor your dad would have some control over who you see. You may wish to speak with him and try to resolve the matter.

Well it wouldnt be on you, only your dad. Unless there is a domestic violence case, I don't think there would be any bar to you seeing him.

Your dad is being less than accurate and you can contact your boyfriend.

Do you mean personal protection order? Or is there some ongoing criminal case in which the judge issued a no contact order? As far as you seeing him, it depends on who the order is issued against. If there is a PPO or no contact order protecting you, then you can't see him without him risking a violation. If the order is to protect your father, then legally you can see him as long as it isn't on your father's property or in his close proximity. Read the order carefully to see exactly what it says and when it expires. Each order is different. You can check at the courthouse to see the file for more information.

A No-Contact provision is normally linked to some legal proceeding. Is there a PPO or a criminal case pending? If so, then the issuing judge can modify the no-contact provision. If the no-contact is a provision of bond against him, it means that he cannot contact you. It may be that you can contact him, however, this is a tricky matter, and could end up getting him in trouble even if he did not initiate the contact. If your dad got a PPO, then the PPO will eventually expire and the provision would also expire.

Once the court has issued a protective order, it is valid until it expires or until the petitioner files a motion to terminate the order. A minor does not typically have the right to motion for dismissal.
