Domestic Violence in Family Law in Madison Wisconsin

Domestic Violence in Family law in Madison Wisconsin is an issue the courts do not take lightly for good reason.  In order to obtain a restraining order against your abuser which is a court order to keep him/her away from you, the abuse must be a physical assault, damage to property, sexual assault, or a threat to engage in these behaviors.  In the eyes of Wisconsin Law domestic violence for purposes of a restrainer order does  NOT include verbal or emotional abuse, financial control, adultery, or generalized non-physical threats.  While  these issues are, of course, very serious, the Wisconsin legislature has not included them as grounds for a domestic abuse restraining order or domestic violence in family law.

Many restraining order petitions/requests in Dane, Columbia, and Sauk counties are filed without an attorney’s assistance.   Because making a clear case can be difficult, it is very important to have an experienced family law attorney on your side.  The attorneys at Krueger Hernandez & Thompson SC care and understand your troubles.  Go to https://khtlawyers.com to find out more information, download our Free Divorce Survival Kit and schedule your FREE consolation.  We Listen.  We Care.  We Get Results.
