No.
The COURT has the power. They may make a protection order permanent, or for a set time.
Note that the order comes from the COURT, not the petitioner. Once it is in place, the petitioner can NOT allow the restrained party to violate it.
This happens all the time. Jane asks the court for a restraining order against Dick, which the court issues. A week later Jane regrets it, and calls Dick up, asking him to come over as she wants to make up. Dick goes to Jane's house, and gets arrested for violating the order.

No. A protective order works both ways... the petitioner cannot contact the respondent either. The petitioner is bound by the order just as the respondent is, and can be found in violation of the order too.
