Domestic Violence Allegations in Aspen: Process + Protection Orders

Domestic violence allegations can move fast and have immediate consequences—especially around no-contact orders, housing, and firearm restrictions.

What happens after a DV-related arrest or charge

Typical early steps may include:

  • advisement/first appearance

  • bond conditions (often no-contact)

  • protection order process

  • evidence collection and review (reports, recordings, witness statements)

Protection orders and no-contact conditions

These conditions can affect:

  • family logistics and parenting schedules

  • shared housing and finances

  • communication and daily life

A defense plan often includes addressing both:

  1. the criminal case strategy, and

  2. the practical restrictions that disrupt life immediately.
