Court entered plenary order of protection against Respondent. As Respondent failed to file transcript of order of protection hearing, and common law record does not include docket entries, court presumes that order entered conformed to law and had sufficient factual basis. Court appeared to base its initial decision to enter emergency OP on allegations in petition that parties had a contentious relationship culminating in incident of domestic violence. Respondent's concern that OP will prohibit from seeing his child is addressed by parties' agreed visitation order allowing for 3 visits per week. (SCHMIDT, specially concurring; McDADE, dissenting.)
