Hello. While your details managed to get cut off, I will fill in as best I can. Can they get back together....Generally Yes. All they need to do is jointly petition the court to dissolve the restraining orders and the court generally will abide by their wishes. However, the Court CAN decide that one (or both) parties are not in their right mind or that the parties getting back together is not in the best interests of a child and then can decide NOT to dissolve the restraining order.
Frankly, when there are no children involved, I've never seen where a judge hasn't dissolved the restraining orders, but especially in Louisiana, you never know. A Judge's power is extreme and to dissolve or not to dissolve a restraining order will be a tough ruling to overturn in an appeal.
If you're in the New Orleans area, dont hesitate to call us at The Civil Law Center, LLC at 504-342-4221.
