Legal Question in Family Law in California

Terminate a Restraining order

My husband has a restraining order against me based on phone calls to his job and a domestic violence incident from 2006. He filed for the order in December 2007. I recently filed a motion to request a termination of the order(4/2009). How likely is it that the order will be terminated? Our contact level was limited to anything regarding our children. We have had peaceful contact pertaining to the children via email and no instances of violence since our incident in 2006. Thank you for any advice you can offer. FYI, everything was filed in Monterey County.

Re: Terminate a Restraining order

Apparently your husband won't stipulate to it? I think it's a question of what are the underlying specifics that provide the basis for the restraining order, whether or not your husband still wants the order in place and what it is that justifies terminating it.
