Squires v. Squires CA3
Jeremy Squires obtained a three-year domestic violence restraining order against his former wife, appellant Deana Squires, while they were embroiled in a contentious divorce. Because the parties share the same surname, we will refer to them by their first names. Deana did not appeal or otherwise challenge the order. A few months before the restraining order expired, Jeremy filed a request to renew the order. Deana opposed the renewal, arguing for the first time that the original restraining order was invalid. The court found sufficient evidence to renew the restraining order for five years. On appeal, Deana contends that the court acted in excess of its jurisdiction in issuing the original restraining order and abused its discretion in renewing what she characterizes as a void order. Because Deana’s time to challenge the original restraining order has long since passed and substantial evidence supports the renewed restraining order, we affirm the judgment.
