What would you do in this situation

Absolutely step back and wait. Even if everything is and will stay exactly as you said between the both of you you need to wait. It would be foolish to push the restraining order. After it expires I'd still keep things limited. If you both still feel the same way when she turns 18 then you can work something out. Just use your head at least as much as your heart.

Oh yeah, don't skip out on the education thing either. Seriously, too many people skip out on higher ed, because they have convoluded notions of ever-lasting love. If it's really that strong it will last a lifetime so there is no need to rush anything.
