Syllabus

Civil stalking protection order, R.C. 2903.211. The trial court erred in granting the CSPO covering the petitioner's son because there was no evidence that the son resided or currently was residing with the petitioner. The trial court also erred in granting the CSPO covering the petitioner's husband because the evidence failed to establish that the respondent engaged in a \pattern of conduct\ against the petitioner's husband. The trial court's grant of the CSPO covering the petitioner, however, was not an abuse of discretion because there was competent, credible evidence supporting the trial court's finding that the respondent engaged in a \pattern of conduct\ against the petitioner and knowingly caused the petitioner to believe that the respondent would cause her mental distress.
