A: You cannot drop a TPO and then add any stipulations. Any stipulations have to be contained within a court order. If you dismiss the case, no stipulations will exist. If you have filed for divorce, you can ask the divorce judge to enter a parenting plan that has the stipulations you want, but you should not dismiss the TPO until and unless that happens.
