FAQ
If you're the person who asked for the no contact order, you can ask the judge in your case to drop it. While there's no guarantee that the judge will do so, if you can show that you're not being forced or coerced into doing it, you'll have a better chance of getting it dropped.
State to the court that you would like a restraining order and what you would like the court to order. Be as specific as possible. Examples: I am asking the court to grant me a _____ month/year injunction. I want no contact in person, at home, by phone, at work, by mail or through third parties.
Follow the Order. You will receive a notification of the order along with a hearing date where you can argue your case. Prepare Your Case.

Typically, either the victim or the defendant can ask the court to lift the restraining order. This is usually completed by filing a motion with the court, such as a Motion to Modify Conditions of Pretrial Release or a Motion to Lift Restraining Order. This legal motion must usually identify the parties.

The evidence can be police reports, witnesses, text messages and or emails.
Reconciliation. Strangers do not perpetrate DV, someone they love does. When someone you love is the perpetrator, leaving for good is the hardest part. Children. Kids miss their parents, and parents miss their kids. There is a constant pressure for a parent to return to being a "family."
If you intend to apply to the court to revoke or vary a restraining order, you will need to prove that a change of circumstances has occurred. If everything has remained the same, then it is unlikely that the court will be willing to adapt or dissolve the order. A change of situation is case-specific.
