SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION SIX

ANDRIY PYLYPCHENKO, 2d Civ. No. B336497 (Super. Ct. No. D408447) Plaintiff and Appellant, (Ventura County)

v.

LINDA L.,

Defendant and Respondent.

Andriy Pylypchenko (Pylypchenko) appeals an order granting a domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) (Fam. Code, § 6320) against him for the protection of Linda L., his ex- wife. We affirm. FACTS Pylypchenko and Linda L. were married in June 2022. They separated in December 2022 after a marriage of five months. They have one minor child. Linda L. filed a request for a DVRO against Pylypchenko. She declared he “imprisoned [her] in [their] home and told his relatives to ‘watch [her]’ so [she] could not leave.” Pylypchenko

threatened to hurt her if she “tried to leave the home without his permission.” He “screamed at [her] for hours calling [her] derogatory names.” He called her a “stupid bitch,” a “fucking cunt,” and a “moron.” She was afraid for her child’s safety as he continued to scream at her “for hours.” Pylypchenko also attempted to restrict Linda L.’s ability to communicate with her family. When her mother called to talk with her, he “sat next to” her “to monitor [her] call to make sure [she] did not tell [her] family about his abuse.” Linda L. “tried to escape,” but Pylypchenko “angrily dragged [her] into [their] bedroom, threatening [her],” and telling her that she could not leave. She was eventually able to “escape” when her uncle called the police and the police “escorted” her and her child out of the home. Linda L. stayed at her mother and grandmother’s home. Pylypchenko stalked her and tried to break into that home. He started “banging loudly on the front door.” She opened the door and then tried to quickly close it. Pylypchenko “tried to push his way inside” the home. The police arrived. They told Pylypchenko to leave. They told Linda L. “to get a Restraining Order against [Pylypchenko] as soon as possible.” Linda L. followed the advice and filed an action for a restraining order. She testified Pylypchenko controlled her by confining her to her room multiple times, checking her communications, screaming at her, and calling her “vile names.” She was afraid and felt she had to do whatever he said. Her child had a serious health condition. She believed Pylypchenko’s abusive behavior could impact the child’s health. She asked him to stop that conduct. He refused. He physically abused her. He
