Restraining Order

My son had a restraining order against him, initiated by his former girlfriend. They have had no contact for five years. She now lives in another state (Virginia). Is there a release from the restraining order which she can sign? If not, how would he be able to have this restraining order expunged, if ever??

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.)

i had a man hit me and pull a knife on me yesterday and i retreated now he's telling everone he is going to hunt me down and gutt me, what are my rights if he keeps comes at me again, because at this point i need to know thanks. this is happening in arkansas

I live in Dublin, CA and I received TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) and notice of hearing by a mother/son who live in the HOA next to us. The accusations are pretty extreme. My HOA has signs of No Trespassing posted in several locations throughout the community. This issue is the son continually trespassed on our property and skateboards/jumps the curbs in our community. I have asked this kid, repeatedly not to skate as we don't allow it. I also explained that our residents would have to pay for new sidewalks and that his skating is increasing the deterioration on the sidewalk. This kid frequently brings friends with him How do I present myself at the hearing so that the TRO is dropped and protect myself from future legal action by the mother. The bottom line is that this kid is trespassing. Other neighbors have also asked him to stop. I ask the most because I walk my dog several during the day. The last time I saw the kid and his 3 friends I called the police and had the police file a trespassing report. 3 days after the officer filed the report the mother/son filed the TRO. Don't I have rights as a homeowner? The hearing is scheduled for 8/27/09 at 8:30 a.m.

My brother was recently arrested following a domestic dispute with his wife, although he was the one who called the police on his wife. After he was bailed out he requested a police escort to accompany him to the house to pick up a few of his personal items. While he was there his wife requested of the police officer, a temporary restraining order against my brother. The temporary restraining order expires today and at this point he just wants to return to the house to collect the remainder of his personal belongings. How should he proceed legally? Also he does not want a confrontation with his wife but at the same time he needs his personal items.
