Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Sep 10, 2024
A.L.O., Respondent, vs. G.L.N., Appellant.
G.L.N. appealed a full order of protection entered against him pursuant to the Adult Abuse Act, which prohibited him from contacting A.L.O. The trial court had found G.L.N.'s actions constituted domestic violence, stalking, and a credible threat. The appellate court reversed and vacated the order, finding A.L.O. failed to establish a familial or household relationship required for domestic violence, and also failed to provide substantial evidence that she feared physical harm from G.L.N. to prove stalking.
