That is not unusual. When allegations of Domestic Abuse occur, the recantation rate is extremely high. As a result, Judges often doubt the assertions of those seeking to have no contact orders dismissed and include a longer cooling off period so that hey may rethink their decision. This is based on the cycles of violence set out in theories related to Battered Women's Syndrome.
You will have to have the matter readdressed when the matter returns to court at the end of 9 weeks.
