You may have heard of a restraining order, but what is it and how can it help in a survivor’s overall safety plan? Marissa and Fio break down the legal jargon of a restraining order, explain what you can expect in the process, and ways to continue safety planning with or without the restraining order in place.
IMPORTANT: The information presented in this podcast is not legal advice, does not function as a do-it-yourself tool for completing restraining orders, and is accurate per Wisconsin State Statutes and the Waukesha County Courthouse. Contact your local DV/SA agency for additional support.
