Hello. In California, courts consider 'extreme emotional abuse' as grounds for an ex parte order. This is case specific, and the judge will decide based on the evidence presented. Please ensure your grandma's friend is aware of all the details.
She is she has worked at cps for years
That's good to hear. Having someone with experience in child protection services will be helpful. Just remember, it's essential to present all relevant evidence to support the case of extreme emotional abuse.
Yeah we will i made a cps report and i told them i have old text from my dad saying he will hit me but i don't think that was relevant because it was so old
While it's true that older evidence might not hold as much weight, it could still help establish a pattern of behavior. It's always best to provide as much relevant evidence as possible.
immediate harm or risk, or an immediate threat to property. What does this mean?
In legal terms, "immediate harm or risk" refers to a situation where someone's physical safety or health is in danger right now. "Immediate threat to property" means there is a risk of substantial damage or loss of property happening right now.
