Q: CA., Contra Costa County DV grounds for Appeal?
1. no substantive evidence was submitted for review with the original request for TRO, which was granted.
2. judge asked complainant to respond to dv120, but they did not
3. complainant clearly states that they are requesting order to preemptively stop me from "outting" them as Trans at work, altho I have never threatened to do so
4. judge refused to consider that the request for order was an act of DV intending to also cause personal duress and legal harm, and maintain "control" as was the habit of the complainant while in relationship
5. judge acknowledges that the only irritation is a series of messages/emails without any attempts at physical contact, but refuses to A. dismiss the request, b. grant a mutual order of "no harassment", c. grant the complainant an order of "no harassment" and instead asserts that they will write the stay away order in a way such that we would be able to share community space/events.
A:
this is a factually challenging question to ask without knowing ALL the facts...pro and con
you need to contact a lawyer that practices in that court not lawyers from all over the state that may not
know the way your judges and DA's handle specific cases.
