If the person who asked for protection changes his or her mind -- after the hearing, but before the time limit for the Restraining Order has run out - he or she is to file forms with the court.

  • There are forms to change (modify) the Restraining Order.
  • There are other forms to drop (dismiss/vacate) the Restraining Order.

For more information about this process, click here. Opens new window

NOTE: It is very important that the person who asked for protection files these forms with the court so that the restrained person is not charged with violating a court order.

  • The restrained person also CAN ask for the Orders to be modified.
  • The restrained person CANNOT ask for the Orders to be dropped.
