Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota

What is likelihood of Judge lifting DANCO after case of 5th degree domestic assault (misdemeanor) and interfering with a 911 call is settled? It is a first offense, with no criminal record and no violation of DANCO. What info can victim give to Judge and Prosecutor to have it lifted at the time that there is a guilty plea? Also, does a judge keep the DANCO in place if there is a guilty plea to the domestic charge?
