February 2025
In our Rhode Island Domestic Violence Restraining Orders section, we created five new questions and revised 25 questions to clarify the requirements and the process for getting a domestic abuse restraining order and to make it easier for users to find the information they need.
In our Alaska Restraining Orders section, we revised one question based on 2024 legislative changes and revised two other questions to improve readability.
We added two new crimes to our Alaska Crimes page as well as our Selected Alaska Statutes page.
We translated into Spanish the question What are the steps to file for custody? in our Puerto Rico Custody section.
In our Choosing and Working with a Lawyer section, we revised How do I pick the right attorney? What questions do I ask? to add new questions to ask an attorney related to retainers and to delete some others. Changes made in English and Spanish.
