Dudley v. Williams CA3
Appellant Michele Dudley filed an affidavit of contempt against respondent Grady Williams, accusing him of repeatedly violating a domestic violence restraining order (DVRO). Williams sought to modify the DVRO, and Dudley opposed the modification and sought the DVRO’s extension.
Following a contested trial, the court found Williams not guilty of contempt and granted the modification, but declined to renew the DVRO.
Dudley appeals, arguing the trial court erred in denying her request to renew the DVRO and in modifying it over her objection. We conclude the court applied the correct legal standard and did not abuse its discretion in denying the request to extend the DVRO. Because the DVRO has expired by its own terms, we need not address the propriety of the decision to modify. Accordingly, we affirm.
