Hello, my ex GF put an order of protection against me and I have trial scheduled on August 27th. We’ve had regular contact and intimate relationship now for a full week but the order is still technically active.
She assures me that everything is fine but I’m concerned that I could get a misdemeanor.
Location: Chicago IL

You should be concerned and you need to abide by the restraining order and stop contacting and having sex with her until and unless the order is lifted by the court.
If it’s illegal, don’t do it. You have to file an Motion to Vacate if you want to remove it.

This is not very smart on your part.

She can have you arrested at any time if you have violated the protective order.
You need to speak with legal services ASAP.
