What is one of the four types of restraining orders available?

The designation of domestic violence restraining orders under §813.12 is notable because it specifically addresses situations where an individual is seeking protection from an abuser with whom they have a certain relationship, such as a spouse or intimate partner. This type of restraining order aims to prevent further acts of violence or threats and provides immediate legal recourse for individuals feeling endangered.

In Wisconsin, these orders are part of a broader category designed to ensure the safety of victims in potentially dangerous scenarios. The laws governing these orders enable victims to gain protection while also outlining associated rights and implications, including the possibility of temporary possession of shared property.

Other types of restraining orders, while they may serve protective functions or address custody issues, do not fall within the specific legal framework of domestic violence, which emphasizes the urgent need for safety and the nature of the relationship between the parties involved.
