Generally while the case is open, there will be a no contact order in place. You can get that dropped by getting a safety plan in place. As far as the self-defense claim, it's not technically relevant whther they are still in a relationship. What matters is what happened that day. Nevertheless, the context can always sway the judge or jury.
