Did you miss the part about waiting 18 months for a court date?

A legal contract is only as strong as the incentives to litigate it. Doesn't seem likely a contract would've helped, it may even have existed.

If there was a contract, it probably would have helped a lot in the restraining order hearing. Which apparently had no issues happening faster than 18 months?

A restraining order (at least, a temporary one) can be issued without a hearing.
