California Court of Appeal

Following a dispute between the father and stepfather of a child while father was picking up the child for a visit, the trial court's issuance of a permanent injunction against the stepfather pursuant to the provisions of the California Domestic Violence Prevention Act (DVPA), is reversed and remanded, where because father was not a protected person under the DVPA, the trial court was not authorized to grant him the protective order here at issue.
