Not legally. You requested it and you are bound by it. Besides, a lot of people who have just been arrested, jailed and forced to move don't really want to hear from the other person involved.
If the order contains language prohibiting you from contacting the defendant, the violation could subject you to sanctions. If not, you've still set up a good case for the defendant to show that you are not reasonably in fear of him/her, do not treat the protective order seriously, and do not need the protection.
In a legal case, a defendant is the person being accused or sued, while a petitioner is the person who initiates a legal action by filing a petition or complaint.
Yes, a petitioner can be a defendant in a legal case. The term "petitioner" typically refers to a party who initiates a legal proceeding by filing a petition, while a "defendant" is the party being accused or sued. In some cases, the petitioner may also be named as a defendant if they are counter-sued or if the circumstances of the case involve claims against them. Thus, it is possible for one party to hold both roles depending on the context of the legal action.
A petitioner is a person who presents a petition. A petition is a formal written application requesting a court for a specific judicial action
§ 7B‑3500. Who may petition.Any juvenile who is 16 years of age or older and who has resided in the same county in North Carolina or on federal territory within the boundaries of North Carolina for six months next preceding the filing of the petition may petition the court in that county for a judicial decree of emancipation.

An "order defendant leave to file petition - allowed" typically means that a court has granted permission for the defendant to submit a specific legal petition or document, which could relate to various matters such as motions for dismissal, appeals, or other procedural requests. This order indicates that the court has reviewed the request and found it appropriate to allow the defendant to proceed with filing the petition. It is an important step in the legal process, as it enables the defendant to formally present their case or argument to the court.
If the restraining order is against the Petitioner (as in a case where there are counter-petitions), the Petitioner may be arrested by any sheriff's office.Additional: In FL, even if no counter-petition has been sought or awarded, the petitioner is bound by the same restrictions as have been placed against the respondant. As stated above, the petitioner CAN be arrested for violating the provisions their own restraining order. The petitioner cannot use their order as a weapon against the respondant.
The petition is filed to open a suit for divorce. The case is open until the petitioner dismisses it or until the court grants the divorce.

The Petitioner is the party that files the appeal (petition for writ of certiorari) with the Supreme Court. Typically, this means whichever party lost the last appeal, but either party may file first. If the case is important enough that the parties suspect the Supreme Court will grant certiorari, they may each try to petition the Court first. The reason is that the Petitioner is allowed to present rebuttal (an answer to the Respondent's argument) during oral arguments, whereas the Respondent is not. This may give the petitioner a strategic advantage.
