(2) Commencement of action and response. No action under this section may be commenced by complaint and summons. An action under this section may be commenced only by a petition described under
sub. (6). The action commences with service of the petition upon the respondent if a copy of the petition is filed before service or promptly after service. The vulnerable adult, a parent, an adult sibling, an adult child or the legal guardian of the vulnerable adult or a county protective services agency may be a petitioner under this section.
Section 813.06 does not apply to an action under this section. The respondent may respond to the petition either in writing before or at the hearing on the issuance of the injunction or orally at that hearing.
813.123(3)(a)(a) Procedure for an action under this section is in 2 parts. First, if the petitioner requests a temporary restraining order, the court or circuit court commissioner shall issue or refuse to issue that order. Second, the court shall hold a hearing under
sub. (5) on whether to issue an injunction, which is the final relief. If the court or circuit court commissioner issues a temporary restraining order, the order shall set forth the date for the hearing on an injunction. If the court or circuit court commissioner does not issue a temporary restraining order, the date for the hearing shall be set upon motion by either party.
813.123(3)(b)
(b) The court or circuit court commissioner, on its or his or her own motion or the motion of any party, may order one or more of the following:
813.123(3)(b)2.
2. That all persons, other than the vulnerable adult, the parties, their attorneys, a representative of the county protective services agency, witnesses, court personnel and any guardian or any guardian ad litem, be excluded from any hearing under this section.
813.123(3)(b)3.
3. That access to any record of an action under this section be available only to the vulnerable adult, the parties, their attorneys, any guardian or any guardian ad litem, the county protective services agency, court personnel and any applicable court upon appeal.
813.123(4)(a)(a) Unless the vulnerable adult, guardian or guardian ad litem consents in writing and the judge or circuit court commissioner agrees that the contact is in the best interests of the vulnerable adult, a judge or circuit court commissioner shall issue a temporary restraining order ordering the respondent to avoid interference with an investigation of the vulnerable adult under
s. 55.043, the delivery of protective services to the vulnerable adult under
s. 55.05 or a protective placement of the vulnerable adult under
s. 55.06 if all of the following occur:
813.123(4)(a)1.
1. The petitioner submits to the judge or circuit court commissioner a petition alleging the elements set forth under
sub. (6).
813.123(4)(a)2.

s. 55.043, the delivery of protective services to the vulnerable adult under
s. 55.05 or a protective placement of the vulnerable adult under
s. 55.06.

sub. (5). A judge shall hold a hearing on issuance of an injunction within 7 days after the temporary restraining order is issued, unless the time is extended upon the written consent of the parties or extended once for 7 days upon a finding that the respondent has not been served with a copy of the temporary restraining order although the petitioner has exercised due diligence.
813.123(5)(a)(a) Unless the vulnerable adult, guardian or guardian ad litem consents to that contact in writing and the judge agrees that the contact is in the best interests of the vulnerable adult, a judge may grant an injunction ordering the respondent to avoid interference with an investigation of the vulnerable adult under
s. 55.043, the delivery of protective services to the vulnerable adult under
s. 55.05 or a protective placement of the vulnerable adult under
s. 55.06 if all of the following occur:

1. The petitioner files a petition alleging the elements set forth under
sub. (6).
813.123(5)(a)2.
2. The petitioner serves upon the respondent a copy of the petition and notice of the time for hearing on the issuance of the injunction, or the respondent serves upon the petitioner notice of the time for hearing on the issuance of the injunction.
813.123(5)(a)3.
3. After hearing, the judge finds reasonable cause to believe any of the following:
813.123(5)(a)3.a.
a. That the respondent has interfered with, or based upon prior conduct of the respondent may interfere with, an investigation of the vulnerable adult under
s. 55.043 and that the interference complained of, if continued, would make it difficult to determine if misappropriation of property or abuse or neglect is occurring or may recur.
813.123(5)(a)3.b.
b. That the respondent has interfered with the delivery to the vulnerable adult of protective services under
s. 55.05 or a protective placement of the vulnerable adult under

813.123(5)(b)
(b) The injunction may be entered only against the respondent named in the petition.
813.123(5)(c)1.1. An injunction under this subsection is effective according to its terms, but for not more than 2 years.
813.123(5)(c)2.
2. When an injunction that has been in effect for less than 6 months expires, the court shall extend the injunction if the petitioner states that an extension is necessary to protect the vulnerable adult. This extension shall remain in effect until 6 months after the date on which the court first entered the injunction.
813.123(5)(c)3.
3. If the petitioner states that an extension is necessary to protect the vulnerable adult, the court may extend the injunction for not more than 2 years.
