Melissa G. v. Raymond M.

Father appealed from domestic violence restraining orders that were granted under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act (DVPA). The Court of Appeal held that the trial court erred by not making the factual findings required under Family code section 6305, but that substantial evidence supported a finding that father was a primary aggressor. In this case, there was no evidence to support a finding that mother acted as a primary aggressor and there was evidence of a long history of father perpetrating physical violence against mother.
