my mother put a restraing order on my boyfriend whom was
18 and i was 15. the order was approved and said it
lasted till sept. 20th, 2013. (3 years) however, since i
couldnt fight it, because im a minor, when i turn 18
could i do anything to have them take it off even though
it didnt reach the 3 years. my birthday is in january of
2013 when i turn 18. so i was planning on getting advice
to having it taken off for my 18th birthday. because i am
legal , i dont see why it would be a problem?

If the restraining order was obtained on your behalf, once you are emancipated (reach age 18 or become otherwise legally emancipated) you may file a motion with the court to modify or terminate the restraining order.
