If you decide you want to be with the abuser, first you must ask the Courts permission to modify the order.

 Even if you grant the abuser permission to contact you, the abuser is still subject to prosecution for contempt unless the Protection From Abuse Order is modified.

To modify a Protection From Abuse Order you must file modification paperwork with the Protection From Abuse Office. It takes approximately 3 weeks for the hearing.
