Evidence in Defense of a Domestic Violence TRO

[undrdog]

My question involves restraining orders in the State of: CA

Can evidence used by the plaintiff in a previous restraining order be used in response of a current DV TRO by the now defendant?

After the DV TRO dismissal w/prejudice and going back home, the defendant in that case continued to harass me with his lawyer, a friend of his and police to vacate the residence immediately without court approval. Once I showed the officer the notice the defendant called them on, they told him he needed to request eviction through the court.

Later, that afternoon I was served with a DV TRO from that defendant and had to immediately vacate the residence on grounds I filed a false DV report and DV TRO resulting in his mental anguish for being arrested. He said to the sheriff's I threatened to call them if he comes home after the judge made his decision, which I did not.

Some evidence in my DV TRO against him would make evidence of his false claim in his DV TRO against me. Can these be used?

All you can do is attempt to use them - ultimately it'll be up to the judge to determine applicability and whether or not and to what degree to consider the previous TRO (but given that this appears to be a back and forth, an educated guess would suggest that the judge would want to see exactly what the other party wrote in their original petition against you).
