What does it mean to dismiss a petition?

If a person disobeys any of the terms of a restraining order or injunction, they may be arrested by law enforcement. Even if the person did not attend a hearing, if they received a copy of an injunction or were aware that the injunction had been issued, they can be charged with a violation.

Can a petitioner violate a restraining order in Wisconsin?

Only a respondent can violate the TRO or injunction. Having a restraining order against a respondent does not prevent a petitioner from being arrested for committing other types of crimes against the respondent. The law does not require petitioners to have police contact or witnesses in order to get a TRO.

What happens if the petitioner violates a restraining order in Wisconsin?

In Wisconsin, a defendant can file a motion to dismiss a court case based on legal grounds such as lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Additionally, a plaintiff can dismiss the case by serving and filing a notice of dismissal before the adverse party serves a responsive pleading or motion.

What are the rules of a restraining order in Wisconsin?

Restraining Order Requirements in Wisconsin To obtain a restraining order in Wisconsin, the petitioner must show that they reasonably believe they are in danger of harm if the respondent is not restrained from contact. The petitioner must also provide evidence to support the request.
