Filing TRO on behalf of my children

[hathawayb]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin


If I were to file a petition for a restraining order on behalf of my children against an individual, can all children be on the same petition or do I have to file separate petitions for each child?

It depends on the state, but in general in WI you need to file a separate petition for each person, regardless of whether they are an adult or child. It's a easy process and since it's TRO, there isn't any filing fee.
