→Information for accused persons
*not to have <span class="noglossary">contact</span> with your spouse, either directly or indirectly,
*not to go to your spouse's home, school , or workplace, and
*to keep the peace and be of good behaviour.
*'''Dropping the charges:''' Criminal charges are laid by crown counsel, not by the complainant. The complainant cannot drop the charges. Only the crown can do that.
*'''Communication with your spouse:''' Do not talk to the complainant, even if they contacts contact you, if your recognizance does not allow you to communicate with them. No matter who initiates the <span class="noglossary">contact</span>, communicating with the complainant is still a breach of the terms of your recognizance and you may face criminal charges from for that breach, as well as the other charges.
*'''Reconciliation:''' If the complainant truly wishes to get back together with you, they must talk to crown counsel and ask that the terms of your recognizance be changed to allow you to communicate with each other or share the same residence. There must be a hearing to vary the terms of the recognizance before those terms will be officially changed.
