Todd v. Hoffman CA1/3
Plaintiff Deborah Todd appeals the trial court’s denial of her request for renewal of a domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) against her ex-husband, defendant Andrew Hoffman. Todd argues the trial court abused its discretion by applying the wrong legal standard to conclude Hoffman’s conduct did not constitute “abuse” within the meaning of the Domestic Violence Prevention Act (DVPA) (Fam. Code, § 6200 et seq.). We conclude the trial court applied the correct standard when it found that Todd did not demonstrate a reasonable fear of future abuse by Hoffman, and the court’s exercise of discretion in this regard did not exceed the bounds of reason. Accordingly, we affirm.
