Shane Barnes unfortunately in my opinion the laws are to soft and not monitored closely
I spent was roughly 2 years from the date a dvo was issued by her claims which where valid the bathroom door took a punch but claimed i beat her up with no marks or bruises , police acted like my friend but were not , i was apparently a risk to my son if that where the case answer this lets say I was a violent father I had mediation they were not supervised visits then the court orders were not supervised in my opinion for the safety and mental health of all concerned parties all should have to attend a qualified therapist that can pick out liars and manipulators for me i had a female judge still remember her words to the mother denying me access , who the hell do you think you are im giving you a 5min recess to think about this if you choose to deny the father access tge father gets full custodial rights it shouldn't have to get to a judge that can read people it should be picked up early for the children's welfare.
