Preston v. Tracy

[¶ 1] Kelly Preston appeals from a judgment of the District Court (Bangor, Stitham, J.) dismissing her complaint for protection from abuse following a contested hearing. Preston contends that the court erred in finding that she did not meet her burden of proof by a preponderance of the evidence, and in finding by clear and convincing evidence that she had willfully misused the protection from abuse process in an attempt to gain a tactical advantage over William Tracy in an anticipated proceeding to modify parental rights and responsibilities. We modify the judgment and, as modified, we affirm.
