Washington WPF UH-09.0400 - Order Terminating Order for Protection - ORMTOA

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 a No Contact Order has been put in place anywhere in the state of Washington, the first thing we do is call the court and find the soonest date we can request relief in front of a judge. You will need to be present at that court hearing. Before the court date, we file a motion to modify or rescind (lift) the order.

If you believe the protection order was granted improperly or that it is no longer needed, you can file a motion asking the court to dissolve (terminate or cancel) the protection order. After you file the motion, the court will decide whether or not to schedule a hearing.

If you believe the protection order was granted improperly or that it is no longer needed, you can file a motion asking the court to dissolve (terminate or cancel) the protection order.If the court schedules a hearing and grants the motion, the protection order will become immediately void and unenforceable.

You cannot drop the charges, but as long as the judge believes that you are not being forced or coerced into dropping the No Contact order, he/she should drop it. Just go to the court that put the order in effect and ask the Clerk's office to pull the case and tell them what it is that you are seeking.

In Washington State there are two types of No Contact Orders (1) Pre-Trial, and (2) Post Conviction. Both types of No Contact Orders in Western Washington prevent a defendant from having contact with an alleged victim.A Post-Conviction No Contact Order is an order that is issued after a criminal conviction.

An antiharassment order is a special type of restraining order which is available only to victims of harassment. It is a civil order of the court telling the person who harassed you not to bother you again. The police are notified of your antiharassment order. The order is fully enforceable in any county in the State.

Ask the court to change the order. The court can drop the "no contact" part of the order but keep the "no abuse" part of the order. Get the 209A protective order "terminated." This will end the order completely.
