Can I request an out of state order to be lifted in the state I am in?

Question

I have filed for divorce in AZ, but a No contact order is current in WA where my wife lives. She has contested the divorce and will have to fly down here and appear in court with me. The order prohibits me from any contact with her even if it is to appear in court with her. Is it possible to have the order temporarily lifted by the courts here for just this case while she is here? I dont care if the order stay in place once she leaves.

Answer 1

NO. The order has to be vacated by the court that awarded it, therefore in WA. The court in AZ will probably ignore the order if both of you are in court for a specific legal reason. Don't sweat it, but advise the court of it and ask for a ruling to suspend the enforcement while in the courthouse.
