October 2021
Based on 2021 additions to the law, we revised What is the legal definition of harassment? in our Arizona Injunctions Against Harassment section to include the additional definition of harassment as being “any contact” if the respondent committed one of the many listed crimes against the petitioner. Changes made in English; Spanish soon to come. We also added a related statute to our Selected Arizona Statutes section. In addition, based on 2021 changes to the law, we changed the title on our Arizona Crimes page for the crime of “Use of telephone to territy, intimate, threaten, harass, annoy, or offend” to “Use of an electronic communication to terrify, intimidate, threaten or harass.” Changes made in English and Spanish.
Based on a 2021 change to the law, we added the fact that a Canadian order of protection can be enforced in Minnesota to Can I get my protection order enforced in Minnesota? What are the requirements?
We updated our Wisconsin Download Court Forms by linking the English side to the actual petitions instead of to the court’s directory of forms. And, on the Spanish side, we linked to the Spanish petitions instead of English forms.
Based on 2021 new laws, we created a new question called Is there anything I can do if my abusive partner continually files court proceedings against me? in our Washington Custody and Divorce sections in English. (Spanish soon to come. )We also added six new related statutes to our Selected Washington Statutes page.
