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.

Consider them out of your life for good; they wouldn't have the order if they wanted anything to do with you.
