- Published ruling, restraining orders between a couple: Riverside Superior Judge James Warren’s competing restraining orders affirmed in case Salmon v. Salmon (Dvhe1906683/E075748)
- After a husband and wife filed competing domestic violence restraining motions against each other, the court awarded only the wife’s. The husband appealed, arguing that his motion should also have been granted. The Court of Appeal disagreed, finding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion. They ruled that California Family Code Section 6305 does not govern two people’s competing requests for protective orders, and that it instead allows the court to weigh the acts of the parties and determine if one was a dominant aggressor before issuing a mutual restraining order.
