What are the types of Restraining Orders in Wisconsin?

72 hour no-contact order: This order is taken out immediately following a domestic violence arrest and is limited to 72 hours.

Temporary Restraining Order (TRO): This is a short term solution used pending a more permanent injunction. Typically if served with a TRO you will be also informed of an upcoming hearing date. These usually last up to 90 days or until the hearing takes place.

Injunction: This order can last two years and is only put in place after a hearing.

Restraining orders can be taken out in cases of domestic violence, stalking and harassment, child abuse, and elder abuse. In all of these cases, there may be slight differences in the way the court handles the issuance of the order.

However, no matter the situation around the restraining order, you should receive notice of it and you are required by law to agree to the terms.

This means that even if you believe the order was taken out in error and is not fair, you still have to follow the order or risk additional criminal charges.

But if that is the case, we may be able to fight in court to have the restraining order lifted. Contact me for details on how we can contest a Wisconsin restraining order that was issued unfairly.

Wisconsin Restraining Order Violation: Laws & Penalties

If you are caught in violation of a restraining order, you will likely be immediately arrested and subsequently charged. How you are charged and the sentence and penalties you may face depends largely on the circumstances that surrounded the issuance of the order in the first place.

For instance, if the restraining order was issued in a case of stalking, you may only face up to 90 days in jail. However, if it was issued in a domestic violence case, the potential sentence could grow to 9 months in jail and fines reaching $1,000.
