Syllabus

Per Mayle, J., correct standards of review for civil protection order cases are manifest-weight-of-the-evidence for challenges to the issuance of a Civil Protection Order (\CPO\) and abuse-of-discretion for challenges to the scope or terms of a CPO. Appellant's disagreement with trial court's interpretation of the evidence did not make court's decision against the weight of the evidence. Trial court abused its discretion by including deadly-weapons restrictions in CPO because there was no nexus between guns and appellant's conduct.
