If they are in Illinois they most certainly can. But it has to be rescended by the judge who signed it normally.

Yes, the person who requested and received the Order of Protection CAN go back in front of the Judge and request that the Order be dropped -- and has to state the reasons for doing so.
For me -- what a STUPID thing to do! If you got that order because you are so threatened and scared and afraid -- what changed? Because abusers do NOT just change overnight ... nor do their behavior patterns change either ....

No. You must go to the court and ask them to drop the order. If you just ignore it and act like it's not there, you are both in violation of the order.
The court will probably grant your request, if that's what you really want, but only they can drop the order.
And, please, think very carefully of your own safety before taking any rash actions. There was a reason for the order in the first place - to protect you. Are you really sure you don't still need the protection?

Probably but it sure as hell won't be smart. The person got that order of protection for a reason and that person should most likely keep it in effect.

Can you get the court to void the order? Probably. If you had good reason for the order in the first place, why would you want the drop it?

yes.. you have to go before the judge again. The ultimate decision is theirs, My Question to you is - - when you testified to get that order of protection did you tell the truth? Think three times before you do this. Guilt is no reason. YOUR PROTECTION IS WHAT MATTERS. YOU have not ruined this persons life you may be saving yours.

Yes but I think it has to go before a Judge and a good reason has to be supplied. Otherwise it was a waste of time put upon our system.
