Apparently (having read a bit more) notice of ex parte requests for domestic violence are not served on the respondent because of the possibility (in most cases) for violence. So my guess is she got notice that he was seeking a restraining order, possibly from her lawyer, but didn’t actually read it (which is what she said in her response)? If that’s the case, I find it odd because we aren’t involved and we ALL wanted to know what was in there!
Or as
@welp said, she didn’t file a substantive response because really, what could she say that would sway a judge? He provoked me, or he stayed silent, are not excuses for the number of messages she sent and their tone.
I suspect, as she truly believes she is the smartest one in the room, that she felt she could offer this blanket, “Nothing he said could be true because I can’t think of anything I would have done that would have qualified as domestic violence,” excuse and it would pass muster. This is what is in her response (bold section by me):
As I have not yet been served with a copy of Petitioner’s Request for Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DV-100), I really have no idea what he is going to accuse me of. All I have is an email from his attorney, providing me with Ex Parte Notice regarding his Request for Domestic Violence Restraining Orders. However, this I know for certain: I have not hit, struck, attacked, threatened, assaulted, harassed, followed, stalked, molested, destroyed the personal property of, kept under surveillance, impersonated, blocked the movement of,
annoyed by phone or electronic means by repeated contact, or disturbed the peace of either Petitioner or his girlfriend, Bianca Wallace.
Clearly, she does not view her messages as annoying/repeated contact or disturbing their peace…
ETA: she also says this (among other things):
I have not harassed, threatened, made libelous or slanderous statements regarding Petitioner or Bianca Wallace, including to the media or by way of social media. Nor have I ever directed anyone to do so on my behalf. Nor have I ever done so by means of impersonation.
I have not made disparaging statements about Petitioner to and/or in the presence of our two minor children, Ella Evans Griffith (DOB 9/6/2009) and Elsie Evans Griffith (9/13/2013).
As stated herein above, I really have no idea what Petitioner is going to accuse me of but I know whatever allegations he is going to make against me are false.
