Syllabus

Domestic violence civil protection order; R.C. 3113.31; abuse of discretion; sufficient credible evidence; domestic violence; R.C. 2903.11; menacing by stalking; mental distress; fear of imminent serious physical harm; evidence; full hearing; sufficiency of the evidence; parenting time; R.C. 3109.051(O)(4); scope of protection order. The trial court did not err in declining to consider materials attached to appellant's motion to dismiss that had not been presented during the full hearing on the petition for a domestic-violence civil protection order (\DVCPO\). The DVCPO was supported by sufficient evidence, and the trial court did not abuse its discretion in completely prohibiting appellant from communicating with appellee or imposing restrictions on his possession or ownership of firearms.
