The best way to handle the situation that you are writing about is to consult with a criminal defense attorney.
There are strict time period in which to appeal an adverse order or judgment. In order to have to "no contact" order removed without the permission of the petitioner, you either have to appeal the order, file a motion for reconsideration if there are new facts/new law supporting the request, or bring a motion of your own stating that the basis for the "no contact" order no longer exists.
