Removing a Restraining order for Statutory Rape

[ms.layjay]

What is the name of your state? California.

When I was 17, my boyfriend was accused of statutory rape. They decided to let him go, and the charges were dropped. However, they did put a restraining order on him for 3 years. I love the man to death, and really want to get this off. I'm now 18, so how can i go about this, if i can at all?

thank you, and so sorry, if ithis is in the wrong place.

Get an attorney and go to court to drop the order.

Or, since he is the restrained party, HE can get an attorney and go to court and drop the order.

Trying to do it without an ttorney is possible, just not likely.

We can't possibly know that.

It can likely be dropped, but that doesn't mean that it will.

The judge may think that the protected party (you) is being manipulated.

I have seen it go both ways.

Remember this, if he was diddling you as a teenager, his eye may rove when you no longer look the part. The odds of this relationship ending up in the plus column are pretty slim.
