Full question:
My husband's ex-wife managed to get some kind of 'lifetime' restraining order against him, for each of his children, based on her paranoia. Now that most of them are of adult age, how can he go about having the restraining order removed so they can communicate with him freely? (Some of the children already do, but the restraining order needs to be out of the way.)

Answer:
A restraining order is a court order that protects a person from harassment. It can be issued by a judge and may remain in effect until it is revoked by the court. To remove a restraining order, either the ex-wife can petition the court to revoke it, or your husband can file a petition to have it removed. A hearing will typically be held where both sides can present evidence. The person requesting the removal must prove their case by a greater weight of the evidence. Your husband can also present evidence against the allegations. It’s advisable to consult a local attorney to review the specific circumstances and documents involved.
