Yes, we can likely help. Under Colorado law you can seek the modification or dismissal (lifting) of a permanent protection order, even one issued many years ago. Here's a breakdown based on Colorado law (primarily C.R.S. § 13-14-108):
Assuming you are the restrained person, you can file a motion for dismissal or modification. Typically, if the PPO was issued on or after January 1, 2013, you must wait two years. If it was issued before January 1, 2013, the typical waiting period is four years. (The protected person can motion for dismissal at any time.)
The next step would be to contact us to discuss your case with an attorney to learn your specific options. Please call us at (303) 688-0944.
