Court of Appeals of Indiana
M.W. v. H.Y.
23A-PO-879
Protection order. Affirms the Lake Circuit Court’s grant of a protection order against M.W. Finds the trial court was not required to announce the cause number of the PO Cause at the beginning of the hearing, nor was it required to announce at some point during the hearing, when the evidence being presented was directed toward the PO Cause as opposed to the dissolution proceedings. Also finds M.W. has failed to meet his burden to show that the trial court failed to hold a hearing as required by Indiana Code section 34-26-5-9(h) and to receive evidence to support H.Y.’s petition for a protection order.
