A: more info needed.

any time there is an order you would have to make a motion to put the matter on the calendar and hopefully come in with an attorney to argue your position.

you don't want to dismiss the RO and get arrested and then have to argue after the fact.

A: If you don't care about owning a gun and you two are no longer together, then you might not want to fight the order. The unlawful sex with a minor is pretty old. Since she was 17, in general it is not as big an issue as when they are younger. (I AM NOT SAYING IT IS OKAY TO HAVE SEX WITH AN UNDER AGE GIRL!) I am saying that they don't care anymore.

Good luck!
