October 2021
We created a new question in our West Virginia Financial Exploitation Protective Orders page called In which county should the protective order be filed? and updated What are the steps to getting a financial exploitation protective order? to include the fact that it can be filed in the circuit court, not only the magistrate court. We also added information about the fact that anyone can file a petition on behalf of the victim to Who is eligible for a financial exploitation protective order? Who can file the paperwork?
Based on an Email Hotline inquiry, we added the crime of criminal violation of a protective order to our Connecticut Crimes page in English and Spanish and to our Selected Colorado Statutes page in English. We also revised What can I do if the abuser violates the order? in English and Spanish in our Connecticut Restraining Orders section to reference the crime and to link to it.
Based on an Email Hotline inquiry, we added the crime of extortion to our Colorado Crimes page in English and Spanish and to our Selected Colorado Statutes page in English.
We translated into Spanish our Wisconsin Divorce information.
