Fotis Dulos told not to contact Michelle Troconis

The estranged husband of missing Connecticut mom Jennifer Dulos is to have no contact with his girlfriend-turned-co-defendant, a judge ruled on Friday.

Judge Gary White granted Michelle Troconis’ motion to block Fotis Dulos from reaching out to her and permitted her to travel out of state while she’s out on $500,000 bail.

Troconis was ordered to have “no direct or indirect contact with her co-defendant, no contact with his kids, his relatives, his friends, no contact in any way, shape or form,” White said.

“Do you understand?” the judge asked her.

“Yes,” answered Troconis, who was in court with her mother.

Fotis, who is also free on $500,000 bail, did not appear.

He and Troconis are charged with hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence in connection with the disappearance of Fotis’ wife Jennifer. The two are accused of dumping garbage bags filled with items stained with Jennifer’s blood.

The 50-year-old mom of five was last seen on May 24.

Troconis is authorized to leave the state between June 30 and July 17 but must be monitored via GPS and provide details of her whereabouts to the court, White said.

She and her mother declined comment as they left Stamford Superior Court after the brief hearing.

Earlier this week, Fotis’ lawyer Norm Pattis filed a motion to loosen conditions of his release — in hopes of reuniting with Troconis.

“She feels badly that Mr. Dulos has been accused of foul play,” Pattis claimed in his motion. “Mr. Dulos would like to make contact with Ms. Troconis to thank her for her kind words.”

Pattis also claimed Troconis could provide an alibi for her one-time live-in boyfriend the morning Jennifer vanished.
