How to Remove Restraining Orders

Posted By Denali Law Group || 29-Sep-2017

Individuals who are accused of domestic violence, stalking or another form of unwanted and repeated contact may have a restraining order issued against them. However, there are situations in which a restraining order is not appropriate because the person being accused is innocent.

About Restraining Orders

A restraining order is a court order in which a judge commands a person cannot make contact with another, and must keep a certain distance from them at all times. Typically, this includes visiting the person’s home, place of work or other areas they may frequent.

Unfortunately, some people take out restraining orders to manipulate situations. If a romantic partner does not want to end the relationship and does not want their partner to claim custody of their children, they can file a restraining order. In these circumstances, it is crucial you attempt to remove the restraining order, because violating it can result in jail time and hefty fines.

Lifting the Restraining Order

Typically, the accuser or the defendant can ask the court to lift the restraining order. This is done by filing a motion with the court, such as a Motion to Modify Conditions of Pretrial Release or a Motion to Lift Restraining Order. If the accuser agrees with the lifting, the order would be removed if they state they are not afraid of the defendant and are not anticipating violence.

However, if the accuser is opposed to lifting the restraining order, the motion will state the reasons why it should be lifted. Normally, there will be a hearing after the motion is filed and a judge will decide whether or not to remove the order. A prosecutor may conduct a cross examination on the accuser.

If you are subject to a restraining order, you face serious consequences if you violate it. As a result, it is crucial you hire one of our experienced Wasilla domestic violence lawyers at Denali Law Group.
