Orders like these start the paper trail of proof against an abusive Husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, or partner. I would hazzard a guess as to why some Judges don't approve these orders. To many times people use them in a vendictive way with false charges of abuse. This makes it hard I believe for a judge who has seen countless hundreds or even thousands of these papers come across their bench to really figure out the truth. There should be a very stiff penalty against people who file a false charge just because they are mad at someone. I believe this happens on both sides. But I also think it might be a little heavier on the womans side because it's easier to believe a man hitting or asulting a woman than the other way around.
