Sarah M. Whalen, Appellant v. Sean Patrick Whalen, Appellee.

Summary

The court affirmed denial of Sarah Whalen’s request for a long-term domestic violence protective order. It held that claim preclusion barred a second order based on the same domestic-violence incidents and that the governing statute does not authorize renewal or additional orders without a new incident. The court also declined to reach the merits of Sarah’s criminal-trespass argument because she waived it by failing to develop the statutory argument.
