Most restraining orders are set to automatically expire after a specific time period. (ex: 30 days, 90 days, one year, etc.) If you want the Court to terminate a restraining order BEFORE that specified date, you must Petition the Court that granted it for an Order to Terminate. The Clerk of whatever Court issued the Restraining Order can help you with the required paperwork if you don't have an attorney. Remember though, once a Court issues a Restraining Order, it is rather reluctant to terminate it before the date contained within the order. Courts don't like to waste judicial time with people changing their minds.

If you are the person who requested it - return to court that issued it, get yourself on the hearing docket and when in front of the judge tell him you'd like it dismissed. If you are the person who is the one restrained by the order - you will have to present a petition/motion to be heard by the judge. At your hearing (at which the plaintiff will be in attendance) you will have the opportunity to present testimony as to why the order should be lifted.

If you are answering a subpoena to such a hearing, you will be given a chance to argue your side of the case, and the judge will make his decision. If it's already been issued you're too late. You will have to go to court and file a motion requesting an appearance in front of a judge to oppose the order.
