California Court of Appeal

In a family dispute involving an unopposed request for a renewed domestic restraining order, Family Code section 6345(a), judgment of the trial court extending order for two instead of five years is reversed where plaintiff is precisely the type of victim the extended renewal period of section 6345 was designed to protect, and her failure to object to the two-year extension at trial was harmless.
