No one can predict that. "Proof" isn't required to get an order for protection - typically the petitioner only needs to convince the court that they are reasonably in fear of the respondent. It comes down to whether the judge feels that there is a basis for that fear or not. Even just testimony of yelling, threats, throwing things, and lots of other actions that don't ever have "proof" are often enough to get the order issued.

While pointers can be helpful, ultimately the number one lesson in any legal action is: don't take legal advice from books, family, friends, co-workers, police officers, grocery clerks, web sites, or people on legal message boards. The only person who can give YOU legal advice is YOUR attorney.
