A: I'm sorry you're going through this situation. To address the restraining order that's part of his probation, you should first reach out to a legal professional who can guide you based on the specifics of your case. They can help you understand the conditions of his probation and how the restraining order fits into it.

Attend any scheduled court hearings related to the restraining order. During these hearings, you can present your perspective and any evidence that supports your desire to have the order modified or removed. It's important to communicate clearly and honestly about your experiences and why you believe the restraining order is unnecessary.

Additionally, gather any documentation or witness statements that can support your case. This might include messages, photos, or testimonies from people who were present during the incident. Working closely with your attorney and being prepared for court can increase the chances of a favorable outcome.
