I do not like publicizing my appellate court losses. I like to win as much as any lawyer. However, I make an exception in the newly published case of Marriage of Reichental 2d Civil No. B307255, which presents us with a definitive published decision on an important area of law for family law practitioners across the state (even if it was not the ultimate outcome we sought).
Those of us who have been practicing family law for longer than the past couple of years have grown accustomed to “non-CLETS” Domestic Violence Restraining Orders (DVRO). A “non-CLETS” order is enforceable via contempt rather than through law enforcement. The difference for non-family lawyers is that violation of a CLETS, or California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System, order leads to immediate arrest by law enforcement and violation of a non-CLETS leads (potentially) to a citation for contempt.
