_________________________

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND1 A. Background Information The parties, Giovanni and Brenda, were married September 27, 2010. Six years later, on December 5, 2016, Giovanni filed a petition for dissolution of his marriage to Brenda.2 Brenda filed a response on December 22, 2016. On May 10, 2017, the trial court granted a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) protecting Brenda against Giovanni; we have no moving paperwork or any responsive or reply pleadings filed in connection with Brenda’s request. It appears the court held hearings on the request for the DVRO on March 22 and May 10, 2017, before issuing the DVRO; the record on appeal does not include the reporter’s transcript of these hearings. The DVRO included the following orders: Giovanni shall not “[h]arass, attack, strike, threaten, . . . disturb the peace” of Brenda. Giovanni shall not “[c]ontact [Brenda], either directly or indirectly, by any means” except for brief and peaceful contact
