If the judge has positive proof that the circumstance have changed and the restraining order no longer applies, then he will lift it.
Just make sure you have a good lawyer. That is imperative.

Yes. It is an individual choice. Your friend needs to decide if he/she feels it is still necessary and then make their decision. They would know better than anyone what their ex-spouse is capable of doing.
As far as dropping the order and being hurt or killed, well, I think if someone wanted to hurt or kill someone, a restraining order is not going to stop them. It's a piece of paper not a security guard. Most will respect the order because they do not want to go to jail. Others could care less about the order.
Good luck.

I do not know the state she is in. I do not know the circumstances of the restraining order, but for her legal protection she should fight to keep the order. Do not let it lapse.

a lot relies upon on the circumstances present which led to a TRO to be issued. I particularly have said that somewhat of paper is mostly in reality truly well worth the ink and paper used; I placed so a lot more suitable self belief in a sweet cuddly doberman curled up on the foot of the mattress.

If it was filed in the first place there must have been a reason. Tell your friend to keep the order of protection. Don't drop it!! IF he is asking that it be dropped, beware..he's a wolf in sheep's clothing.

I'm going to revoke mine against my ex, I don't want to have to go to proceedings in another month to extend it for 12 months. I just want to move on with my life without seeing him again. He is engaged to another woman now, so I don't think that he would jepordise that new relationship by contacting me anytime in the future anyway. As long as you know that you will be safe, why not?

I had a sister in-law that done the same thing and now she's dead. He came back after she had lifted the order and shot her twice in the chest.
