Violating any provision of a temporary order or restraining order is punishable by contempt and punishable as a misdemeanor in criminal court, even if the temporary restraining order originates in a divorce in Minnesota family court.
A misdemeanor carries a maximum sentence of up to 1 year in jail and a $1000 fine under Minnesota criminal law.
Certain provisions, if violated, may carry additional penalties. For example, physical abuse might be both a violation of a temporary order and a violation of the criminal code.
