It saddens me to know that there are cases, like this one, in which a son obtains a restraining order against his mother. I've read a ton of DVRO cases over the years, obviously, but don't recall seeing a situation like that before today.
Not that children can't potentially fear -- or be harassed -- by their parents. Still. It's depressing to know that things sometimes come to that.
To make things worse, after I read a tiny line on page 12 of the opinion, I learn that the mom also has an out-of-state restraining order entered against her by her daughter. Ugh.
What's also a little unusual is that both of the parties here have lawyers. Lots of these cases (and appeals) are filed pro per. Yet another downside of the whole situation: money flushed down the drain.
