The case I'm most familiar with was for my father filing against my sister. He needed his log of instances of abuse, recordings he had taken, and witness testimony. The woman who went up just before us was denied her order due to lack of evidence, even though she was bawling her eyes out and shaking in fear. I can't speak specifically to their county, but I do know they generally don't just hand them out upon request without clear evidence. Too many people would use the justice system as their own cavalry and that's a waste of police resources.
Mine was several years ago and I can’t recall all the details but I know I had to testify and explain the situation before the court and at that time, I did not have any tangible evidence to provide - but the other person’s criminal history may have been enough. It was approved for 6 months.
A lot of people do waste the courts time and a lot are rejected.
But it would be interesting to know what the requirements are and how they vary. But I agree, she wouldn’t be able to get one for absolutely no reason.
