QUESTION
Doesn't this protective expire if there’s no contact and we even live in different states?

More details to this question:
Ex- wife put a restraining order on me. Now after 10 years of no contact with her, I can't buy a gun because there is still a protective order against me. I moved out west to Utah and she lived in Florida. I tried to send a motion but they refused it because I didn't know where she lived go figure.

You probably need to hire an attorney in the same county where the protective order was signed by the judge.

Because the protective order was issued by a Florida court, you will need to get a Florida attorney to help you in getting it dismissed. There should be some provision for alternative service, that will allow you to get it removed even if you can no longer find her. Check with a Florida attorney who handles domestic matters.
