B.S. v. M.B. CA4/2
On November 9, 2016, the family court issued a three-year domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) against defendant and appellant, M.B., based on the application of M.B.’s son, plaintiff and respondent, B.S., pursuant to the Domestic Violence Prevention Act (DVPA). (Fam. Code, § 6200 et seq.) The DVRO protects B.S., his girlfriend, and his two children.
In this appeal, M.B. claims the family court abused its discretion in issuing the DVRO, because no evidence supports the court’s implied findings that M.B. perpetrated any acts of “abuse” against B.S. or the other persons protected by the DVRO. (§ 6203 [defining abuse for purposes of the DVPA].) B.S. has not filed a respondent’s brief. We affirm. As we explain, substantial evidence shows M.B. committed acts of abuse against B.S., his girlfriend, and his two children. Thus, the court did not abuse its discretion in issuing the DVRO.
