Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin

Possibly, but restraining orders and domestic abuse injunctions are often narrowed by the context in which they were issued, and may contain further detail in terms of what constitutes a violation. For example, if the respondent already lived nearby when the order was issued, the judge may not have anticipated forcing him to move; rather only to avoid unnecessary confrontations. He should promptly discuss this potential violation with his lawyer, however, unless there is any real danger of imminent injury, in which event the petitioner should contact the police immediately.

Remember that I am only guessing here because I have not seen your paperwork, so have a private consultation with a lawyer for review of the docs before you act on my suggestions.
