From what you are asking, I can't tell if the judge has turned down the order or not? What is the status? It sounds like no reasonable judge would not grant the order.

The fact she has an attorney should not concern you. The judge will decide on the facts of the case, not who has an attorney. Did anyone witness this confrontation? Judges normally give more credit to a "disinterested party", meaning someone not directly involved who has no interest in the outcome. If there were witnesses, make sure they show up. If not, keep an eye out for witnesses in the future.

the general rule is no. a judge may not be able to turn down or reverse a previously issued restraining order. this applies to a lower court or any court of similar jurisdiction(scope of territory). however when there is a valid cause which before the eyes of the law is deemed a meritorious reason, a restraining order may be set aside and even permanently enjoined(prohibit) from being applied.
as i analyze your case, there seems to be a very valid reason for the issuance thereof. so i believe there is no cause for concern that it might be reversed or set aside.
goodluck and have faith that justice shall prevail.

given which you would be able to practice reason to get one. it is no longer nicely worth suitable a restraining order. basically watch for yet another incident, call the law enforcement officers so which you have documentation, and attempt lower back.

A judge can suggest what he/she considers to be correct in his/her judgement according to the law! The incident you have narrated by the way is pretty interesting and intriguing!

Suggest you rephrase your post so it makes sense.
