Question:
There was a misunderstanding between me, my partner, and my son. Someone else called the cops, and now there’s an order of protection. We are trying to go to counseling but this order is preventing us from moving forward as a family.
Answer:
While the individuals may agree to lift the order of protection or to relax the restrictions, it does require agreement with the DA and consent of the court to do so. It would certainly benefit you to consult with an attorney to aid you in that process.
