Q: In Ohio if someone has a restraining order against you can they come to your house and put an eviction notice?

Friend lived on uncle's property for more than 35 years. Uncle is now deceased and uncle's other relatives now making him move. One of those men went to his house they argued and friend pushed guy back when he came toward friend after arguing. Guy filed restraining order and then goes to friend's house and posts eviction notice. If he has a restraining order against my friend how can he go to my friend's house.
