It would depend on the exact terms of the restraining order. However, it seems to me that there would be no violation of the restraining order if you were sitting on one side of the building (church or wherever) and he was sitting on the other side during the ceremony. Same thing for the celebration. A carefully drafted Consent Order could resolve this without the need to lift the FRO.

Keep in mind that this answer is given based on the scanty information you have provided. My answer may change based on other information. Further, you cannot rely on this answer since you have not retained me as your attorney. To be sure that you have accurate information and direction, you should consult with an attorney. Feel free to call me at 856-546-8010. Good luck. Rob Gleaner
