How have courts interpreted the meaning of section 15610.30 of the California Family Law Code?

Kenton's remaining statutory interpretation arguments rely on tools of statutory construction that need not be considered because the plain meaning is clear. ( Hughes v.

abuse within the meaning of section 15610.30, double damages were proper without a separate finding of bad faith.
