Marriage of Sukkary CA3
The trial court imposed a five-year restraining order against appellant Tamir E. Sukkary pursuant to the Domestic Violence Prevention Act (the Act; Fam. Code, § 6200 et seq.) based on its finding that Tamir had physically and mentally abused his wife, respondent Rania D. Sukkary. On appeal, Tamir contends (1) the trial court abused its discretion in admitting expert testimony; (2) counsel for Rania improperly referenced propensity evidence to prove abuse; (3); the trial court improperly shifted the burden of proof to Tamir; (4) the trial court did not properly weigh the evidence; and (5) the trial court’s factual findings are not supported by substantial evidence because Rania’s testimony was inherently improbable and incredible. We disagree and shall affirm the judgment.
