Suing me in California and i lived in Ohio all my life
If you have minimum contacts with that state, then personal jurisdiction over you will exist under California’s long arm statute. If not then you should fight jurisdiction.
Police is that legal? She gifted it to me and now I’m being told that if I don’t return it she will get the police involved and use my phone records.
This question depends on the nature of the transfer. If she truly gifted it to you, there is an argument it is yours. If she merely intended for you to use it, then it may still be hers. But, as the owner of the plan she likely has an undisputed ability to suspend phones she pays for.

Nothing intended for my wife is involved. Just congratulations to their nuptials.
Generally this would not violate a restraining Order, but you should very carefully review the terms of the no contact Order. While this action may not typically violate a restraining Order, it may not be prudent to reach out to her family while this restraint is in place.
