How do we review an order granting domestic violence restraining order for abuse of discretion?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from J.U. v. B.P., B278511 (Cal. App. 2018):

We review an order granting a domestic violence restraining order for abuse of discretion. (In re Marriage of Nadkarni (2009) 173 Cal.App.4th 1483, 1495.) Under this standard, we uphold the trial court's factual findings if they are supported by substantial evidence. (Burquet v. Brumbaugh (2014) 223 Cal.App.4th 1140, 1143.) We accept as true all evidence tending to establish the correctness of the trial court's findings, resolving every conflict in favor of the judgment. (Ibid.)
