Disturbing the Peace: Restraining Orders, CPS & Family Court | Mitch Krems – Part 1

What happens when private family conflict ends up in court, and when should the government step in?

In Part 1 of Disturbing the Peace,” Legal Vixen host and trial attorney Karren Kenney sits down with Orange County attorney Mitchell “Mitch” Krems, founder of Family First Attorneys, to talk about domestic violence restraining orders, family court, CPS investigations, and the unexpected situations lawyers encounter when family disputes make their way into the courtroom. Mitch shares memorable stories from his restraining order practice, including unusual allegations, difficult custody disputes, social media evidence, Snapchat, online dating disputes, and cases where the evidence took an unexpected turn. Karren and Mitch also discuss what “disturbing the peace” can actually mean in a California restraining order case, and why domestic violence allegations do not necessarily require physical violence.

The conversation then turns to CPS and juvenile dependency cases, including what can happen when a social worker shows up at a parent's home, how seemingly innocent statements can become important to an investigation, and the difficult balance between cooperating with CPS and protecting a parent's rights.

Mitch also discusses his representation of a father facing felony child-endangerment charges in the highly publicized Orange County e-bike/e-motorcycle case, a subject we'll explore further as the conversation continues.
