You can always file a motion to modify the terms of probation, though it will always be up to the court as to whether or not to grant the motion. As to the no-contact, your testimony will be essential to showing the court that this provision should be lifted, though, again, it is always up to the judge.

Yes, you can probably get the mo contact order dismissed, but not the other provisions. Be very careful!

Sometimes you can end probation early but it takes a lot of showing of good effort for the first six months or so.
