Judges Denial Explained
Summary
In Wisconsin, a judge can modify a domestic abuse injunction only if specific legal criteria are met, such as a significant change in circumstances. If your motion was denied, it might be due to the judges interpretation that the criteria were not met. An appeal could be possible if you believe there was a misinterpretation of the law. Consulting with a local attorney can provide more tailored advice on your situation and help determine if an appeal is viable.Full Conversation

Does my motion for contempt or modification outline possible violations?
Case Rating: *
Based on your motion, it outlines possible violations by describing the Respondent's intimidating and threatening behavior towards your family members, which could be interpreted as indirect harassment. However, whether this constitutes a violation of the existing injunction is subject to the judge's interpretation.

Based on escalation of behavior following service I am deeply concerned that the warning the judge gave will do nothing.
Case Rating: *
Your concern is valid, especially given the escalation in behavior. The judge's decision might suggest that they didn't find the evidence compelling enough under the legal standards. Considering an appeal or seeking further legal advice could be beneficial. Would you like any more information on the appeal process?
