The applicant mother sought urgent temporary orders, including a restraining order against the respondent father, no access, permission for service by email, and a police enforcement clause, citing a history of domestic violence and a recent assault while she was holding their infant child.
The father was in custody at the time.
The court, acting as Triage Judge under COVID-19 protocols, found the matter urgent and granted the requested orders on a temporary, without prejudice basis, noting that the father's perspective was not yet known as materials had not been served.
The court set a deadline for the father to file responding materials and outlined next steps for a teleconference if materials were received.
