What if I choose not to proceed with the Restraining Order?

You have the option to reconsider even after initiating the case. If you decide not to pursue the restraining order, you may consider returning to court or submitting a letter requesting the withdrawal of your petition “without prejudice.” This allows you to raise the same claims in a fresh petition if you change your mind in the future. Remember, you can always return to court if a new incident arises.
