A: Only the judge can dismiss the order of protection and a hearing is often required to do so. I have included a link to the forms used in AZ courts for Orders of Protection. Go to page 17 and use the "Request" page to request the court dismiss the Order. You will have to explain why you want the Order dismissed. After you submit the paperwork, the court usually sets a hearing that will you will have to attend. Hope that helps! Best of luck!
