Finding sufficient evidence of imminent danger to wife sufficient to justify issuance of protective order against husband, including conduct at divorce mediation which the trial court characterized as “incidents of intimidation.”
Quote from the Court: The event that immediately preceded petitioner seeking the protective order occurred on October 5, 2017, when petitioner and respondent met with a mediator to discuss custody and parenting-time issues. Toward the beginning of the mediation, respondent stared intensely at petitioner for a long time and did not respond when the mediator asked him a question. The mediator felt like the stare was “meant to communicate extreme anger and rage” and asked respondent to stop staring, which he did. Later, when petitioner understood a statement by respondent as an admission that his parenting time should be supervised, respondent became “very upset and angry,” and he said “fuck you” three times while again staring intensely at petitioner. The mediator asked respondent to leave the room and then, outside the room, asked whether he would be able to calm down enough to continue the mediation. Respondent said that he could not and would like to leave. After respondent left, the mediator spoke with petitioner, who was crying and shaking. The mediator suggested that petitioner speak with somebody at a domestic violence resource center and provided her with an escort to her car.” 366 Or. at 557, 466 P.3d at 952.
