Depending on the state and country you live in, the laws vary. However, a restraining order CAN be lifted by the person who asked the judge to issue it by scheduling a hearing with the court, and explaining why the order of protection should be lifted. This is a general answer, but there are a lot of various situations such as when they are children involved that make the entire legal situation murkier. There are great attorneys who do wonderful "PRO BONO" (free) work for Domestic Violence organizations, I suggest you hook up with one of them before you remove any order of protection.

What is the likelihood a restraining order won't be lifted?

If somebody has a restraining order against you, don't expect them to lift it at all. They can, at any time, but if you were doing something stupid or bad enough to them that they had to get the order against you, then you need to back off and find some new friends. Consider them out of your life for good; they wouldn't have the order if they wanted anything to do with you.

Will they ask questions as to why you want to terminate the restraining order what kind of questions will they ask will they come down hard on you what will happen in court with this issue.?

If the court has issued a restraining order against someone on your behalf - you can apply to have the order lifted. If the court asks why, you can always cite that you feel they have learned their lesson. HOWEVER - if the person then starts harassing you again - the court would want to know why you asked for the injunction to be lifted early. Best to let the order run its course - that way, they understand they are not to approach you for fear of going to prison.
