The problem is that the ex is not likely to substantiate any of what you've alleged here. If you have multiple texts she's sent to him asking him to come over (during the period of the restraining order), this might mitigate his violation and the court might either lower or quash the bond altogether. That's by no means a guarantee and he should definitely hire qualified counsel to represent him in this matter.
