March 2024
On our Idaho Restraining Orders page, we separated the questions How much does it cost to get a protection order? and Do I need a lawyer? to make it easier for survivors to find the information they’re looking for. We also added a new question, How do I renew, change, or dismiss a protection order against stalking and/or threats? Spanish coming soon!
We updated the resource Forest County Potawatomi Community Advocate Program on our Wisconsin Local Programs page in English and Spanish.
We added a Litigation Abuse page in Vermont that includes nine questions. We also revised one question each in our Divorce, Relief from Abuse Orders, and Sexual Assault or Stalking Protective Orders sections, and added one question each in our Custody and Child Support pages to help victims of abusive litigation learn about this new remedy.
Based on 2024 legislative changes, we revised five questions in our Michigan State Gun Laws page. Spanish coming soon.
