Yes, there is a way to remove an active restraining order in Colorado. It requires proof that the victim no longer wants the restraining order, there is no threat to the victim, and there has been substantial time since the issuance of the restraining order. You may want to retain a local attorney to handle this for you, most should be able to complete it at a minimal fee.

The order of protection is not a criminal record, it is just an order. If the case was dismissed it will not be on the computer.
