*59OPINION

Before RABINOWITZ, C.J., and BURKE, MATTHEWS, COMPTON and MOORE, JJ. COMPTON, Justice.

In 1981, Walter Siggelkow pleaded nolo contendere to charges that he had repeatedly violated a court order prohibiting him from making contact with his former spouse. Walter received a suspended 18 month sentence, which was reinstated in 1985 following numerous additional violations of the same court order. On appeal, Walter contests the validity of the “no-contact” order and the authority of the court to punish by imprisonment his contempt of court. We affirm.
