• holding that pleading is not evidence so answer to petition for protection order cannot be used by court
• holding that a witness’ eyewitness testimony, standing alone, may be sufficient to establish proof by a preponderance of the evidence
• holding that since court considering a protection order is to proceed as in a normal civil action and since statute is silent on standard of proof, preponderance of evidence is the proper standard
• holding that victim’s testimony alone was sufficient to meet preponderance-of-the-evidence standard and emphasizing that “[o]ften the only evidence of domestic violence is the testimony of the victim”
• finding that a preponderance of the evidence standard is applied to issuance of protection orders
