1. BROOKE ATLAS V. KEVIN ATLAS 25FL0219

On January 28, 2026, the parties appeared before the court for hearing on the request for a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) filed by Petitioner. The court took the matter under submission but ultimately granted the DVRO and referred the parties to Child Custody Recommending Counseling (CCRC). A review hearing was set for the present date.

The parties attended CCRC on February 23, 2026 but were unable to reach any agreements. As such, a report with recommendations was prepared on March 26, 2026. It was mailed to the parties on March 27th.

After reviewing the filings as outlined above, the court finds the recommendations contained in the March 26, 2026 CCRC report to be in the best interests of the children and they are hereby adopted as the orders of the court.

Petitioner is directed to prepare the Findings and Orders After Hearing (FOAH); however, this order is effective immediately upon the court’s adoption of the tentative ruling and is not conditioned on the preparation of the FOAH.
