Yes. The one that took out the order can drop it. You have to appear before the judge and it will be at his discretion to drop it or not but they usually will. Careful though, if dropped and you need it again the judge more than likely won't issue another one.

Yes, you just need to go back to the court system and tell them you want to stop the protective order and why. You will have to file it like it was done for the protective order and it will take a little time. I hope the counseling works, but be prepared if it doesn't. If this spouse is an abusive spouse then going to counseling may not make a difference. GOOD LUCK!!

Counseling can be part of the order, but marriage counseling is NOT going to help a batterer. They need to do a LOT of work, both on anger and their own issues, before I would even attempt marriage counseling.
Personally, when I see JUST marriage counseling I say to myself, "Here we go again!"
Marriage counseling is NOT a panacea for people who have far more issues than their marriage.
Not what you wanted to hear, but make him get into Anger Counseling and do some individual work first!
Why would you want the Protective Order lifted?

Youd have to provide more information on the situation. I read protective order and I think restraining order. So I think this story is more complicated than you make it seem. Marriage counselling will not help an abusive spouse.
If the person wants to drop it, ok. But please do it after some very serious thought. Because if you are in an abusive relationship, you need to get out of it, not go back. A judge really doesn't have much patience for women who file restraining orders -- which are very serious -- and then run back to the men who hurt them.
If your husband is hurting you, STAY AWAY FROM HIM.

Sure just petition the judge who issued the protective order for a modification.
I would suggest not asking the order be dropped, just amended to allow the counseling.

Yep..... just make sure you go back through the court to modify the original order.. you can do this through your atty if you had one OR ask the Commonwealth Attty to ask for a re-docket. ultimately, the decision to modify belongs to the judge. Good luck with the counseling!

Yes, The person who has the TPO must send a letter to the other stating that it is acceptable to break the order. You can't take it back after that. The order will be null and void. It must be done by mail or have it notarized to be legal.

yes it can.but you have to be very careful.there is a reason for it.if you or your parents have it then leave it alone.but if the court has it in place you need to go through proper channels.speaking from experience.she wanted me to get help.as i love her so much i did.because our relationship is worth it.but she Had to get a letter and notarized then send it to the DA.then to the judge.then we had to get a lawyer to represent in court.look it is time consuming make sure it is what you want not just what you think you need.make sure your motives are sincere not just a quick thought.think long and hard.if you want to know more im not hard to find.
