A: You can ask the judge to modify the restraining order to allow for some kind of peaceful contact. How this will be done depends on the facts of your case. I usually see this done at a secure location, like a police station. You'll likely need to have some good reason to want to see your husband again. If you don't or if you are barely in to your 3 year RO, then the judge may not allow peaceful contact. The judge could also think that you sought the RO on accusations that weren't actually true.
