This. Yes. My divorce lawyer didn't tell me this until way later. "Why didn't you call the police!?" Ummm, you only told me to write contact down and let you know next time I came in to meet with you. So, for the next incident, I did call the DV section of the police department, we spoke for a while and they determined that it probably didn't violate the RO that time, but if he did it again, it would, and to keep a journal of contact by XAH and when I called the police. (I should have called for the first one...) XAH had texted me - which is against the order, contact via e-mail only and only regarding DS - to say sorry for his GF's behavior one weekend. It seems pretty innocuous, but.... The police officer said I did right to call.
