Question: How can I get a restraining order taken off?
Answer: Typically, one is served with a notice or summons before a restraining order is put into effect. That notice should list a time period in which you can object to the restraining order being instituted. If you object, then a hearing is scheduled in front of a judge to determine if there is a legitimate reason not to impliment the restraining order. If you do not object or do not appear at a scheduled hearing, then you are deemed to have waived the objection (the court assumes that you don't have any reasons why the restraining order shouldn't be3 put into place) and the restraining order is put in place.
Typically, the restraining order is valid for a specified period of time (it is not valid indefinitely). The order is valid until the specified period of time expires.
SO, to stop a restraining order, you must respond to the summons that you receive before the restraining order is put into place, or wait until the time period of the restrainng order runs out.
