From Outlaw v. Outlaw, decided in 2019 by Judge Katharine von Ter Stegge (Ore. Cir. Ct.) but just posted on Westlaw; the lawsuit was brought by a woman against her ex-husband and her ex-mother-in-law, all with the last name Outlaw:
In April 2017, [mother-in-law] arrived at [the then-wife-and-husband's home] in order to provide emotional support to [husband].
In June 2017, [husband] filed Petitions for Dissolution of Marriage and a Temporary Protective Order of Restraint against Plaintiff. Plaintiff then filed a Motion requesting exclusive use of the [home]. On approximately July 14, 2017, Defendant [mother-in-law filed a Petition for Restraining Order to Prevent Abuse of Elderly Person or Person with Disability ("EPPDAPA Petition") against Plaintiff as the Respondent.
The EPPDAPA Petition included allegations that Plaintiff verbally abused [mother-in-law], stole her property, and antagonized her through late-night use of laundry machines adjacent to her living quarters, including allegations that Plaintiff ran the dryer with sneakers in it during sleeping hours. [Mother-in-law] also alleged that Plaintiff rendered the bathroom she was using non-operational by forcefully removing pipes, the toilet, and the door to the bathroom.
On July 21, the EPPDAPA Petition was granted on a temporary basis pending a contested hearing. The resulting EPPDAPA restraining order ("Restraining Order") contained various restrictions on Plaintiff. Plaintiff was restricted from being within 150 feet of [mother-in-law] or making any contact with her. Plaintiff was also ordered to move from the Hassalo House and to remain at least 150 feet away from it. Plaintiff was served with the Restraining Order and left the house immediately.
