Because a protective order is a civil court order, a victim can drop an order of protection. The victim must return to the court and ask the judge to dismiss the order.

Your affidavit should say when and how the defendant abused you and why you are afraid of the defendant. Start with the most recent incident that is making you afraid.

No Contact Orders are issued by a judge through criminal cases. For instance, when there is a crime that involves an alleged victim of violence, such as Domestic Battery, Battery, Harassment, and Stalking, then the Judge will likely order that the Defendant have No Contact with the Alleged Victim.
Evidence from the person seeking the order can take different forms: Witness Testimony: Statements from people who witnessed abusive behavior. Photographic Evidence: Photos of injuries caused by violence, with timestamps. Text Messages or Emails: Messages with threatening language or detailing abuse.
