How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • explaining that “mutual protective orders are prohibited in domestic abuse cases where [the party] . . . has neither requested nor established grounds for such relief” and noting the district court’s “circumvention of section 236.20”
  • noting a determination of whether husband committed the acts alleged by wife would be derived from the evidence and such a determination would therefore be a finding of fact
  • “Although our review is de novo, we rely on the trial court’s assessment of the witnesses’ credibility.”
  • “A defendant’s filing of a petition for dissolution of marriage does not deprive the district court of jurisdiction in a domestic abuse action, nor does it relieve the trial court of the responsibility to rule on the merits of the domestic abuse petition.”
