How does a court review a protective order under the DVPA?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Wagner v. Broderick, B260375 (Cal. App. 2016):
We review a trial court's granting of a protective order under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act (DVPA) for abuse of discretion. (Burquet v. Brumbaugh (2014) 223 Cal.App.4th 1140, 1143.) In reviewing the evidence, we apply the substantial evidence standard of review, and we defer to the trial court on issues of credibility. (Lenk v. Total-Western, Inc. (2001) 89 Cal.App.4th 959, 968.)
