You places this questoin in the Criminal category. However, an Order for Protection is not criminal. It is civil. If you wish it dismissed, you must file a Motin to dismiss and have t heard by the court. If t his is, instead, a Domestic Abuse No COntact Order (DANCO), as part of a ciriminal case, the defense totrorney for the defendant may seek to have itt removed at a court hearing.
