Can a single witness provide sufficient evidence in a restraining order?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Villalobos v. Villalobos (In re Marriage of Villalobos), F078477 (Cal. App. 2019):

296 [" 'Since it is impossible to determine from the clerk's transcript what evidence the trial court heard and considered, this court must assume there was substantial evidence to support the order.' "]; see also Sabbah v. Sabbah, supra, 151 Cal.App.4th at p. 823 ["The testimony of a single witness may provide sufficient evidence."].) Therefore, we uphold the court's denial of Paul's request for a domestic violence restraining order.
