1Opinion of the CourtJabar, J.
[¶ 1] Following the testimony of two expert witnesses in support of Lori Han-drahan’s complaint for protection from abuse filed against her ex-husband, Igor Malenko, 1 on behalf of the parties’ minor child, the District Court (Portland, Mos-kowitz, J.) entered a judgment in favor of Malenko. Handrahan asks us to conclude that the expert witness testimony compelled a finding that Malenko was abusing the child. Because we conclude that the trial court’s evaluation of the evidence was not clearly erroneous, we affirm the judgment.
