Mr. Beach’s client was part of a family that was fighting with each other over their aging mother’s property. One sibling wished to prevent Mr. Beach’s client from talking with their mother; so, she convinced their mother to request an elder abuse restraining order. At the hearing Mr. Beach proved that the alleged abuse was that Mr. Beach’s client might contact the mother’s landlord and may spend some money for the care of the mother. Since this does not qualify as abuse, the judge ruled in Mr. Beach’s favor and dismissed the requested restraining order.
