Short answer: Maybe. You can file a request to dissolve the TPO, indicating that there is no legitimate fear on her part as evidenced by her inviting you to dinner, but you should NOT initiate any contact with, or agree to see, her until the TPO has been dissolved. For forms, see the Family Law self-help center website, or contact a family law specialist -- which is probably a good idea if you are in the middle of custody litigation anyway. For background on DV and child custody issues, see the materials posted here and here.
