How is a restraining order reviewed for abuse of discretion?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from D.G. v. J.F., B250676 (Cal. App. 2015):

A trial court's ruling on a request to renew a restraining order is reviewed for abuse of discretion. (Lister v. Bowen (2013) 215 Cal.App.4th 319, 333.) An abuse of discretion occurs when the ruling exceeds the bounds of reason. (Ibid.) "'"When two or more inferences can reasonably be deduced from the facts, the reviewing court has no authority to substitute its decision for that of the trial court."' [Citation.]" (Ibid.)
