QUESTION
Do minors have the right to revoke a restraining order in the state of Wisconsin?
Asked on May 26th, 2016 on Family Law - Wisconsin
More details to this question:
I'm 16 and my guardian petitioned to have a restraining order issued against someone without my knowledge or consent. It expires when I'm 18. Her claim is harassment although I have never experienced anything of that nature from this individual. No one has asked to speak with me. I believe she did this for the wrong reasons. She has never spoken or met this person prior to this claim. I fail to understand why this has happened regardless of the invalidity. Do I have any rights in this case? If so how do I revoke the order? Thank you.

The answer is no. As a minor, you have no rights to act within the court system. Someone has to do it in your behalf, such as one of your parents, a court appointed guardian or a court appointed guardian ad litem. As a minor, you do not have the right to revoke a restraining order in the state of Wisconsin.
