It depends. If you are taking the restricted PAL course and the application is filled in properly one of the questions pertains to your spouse or ex spouse. This person will be contacted. The application also asks if you such orders against you (noting that this will not necessarily disallow you from ownership). The long and short is if you have a history of violence or are being investigated for the same or your spouse or ex spouse says you are dangerous you can pretty much forget owning a handgun. Also note that you must belong to a registered handgun club before you can purchase restricted weapons.
