As H's downloading W's cell phone messages and disseminating them to 3d parties was "abuse" under the DVPA and Nadkarni, RO restricting further dissemination was proper; no violation of H's free speech rights.

D's email campaign and emotional abuse of P's young daughters amounted to alarming, annoying and harassing conduct that would cause a reasonable person substantial emotional distress — sufficient to support issuance of DVRO.

Plain meaning of “disturbing the peace” in FC 6320 may include, as abuse under DVPA, ex-H's destroying mental or emotional calm of ex-W by accessing, reading and publicly disclosing her confidential emails.
