On February 19, 2026, Respondent filed a Request for Order (RFO) seeking custody and visitation orders. All required documents were personally served on Other Parent on February 23rd. The Department of Child Support Services (DCSS), which is also a party to the action, was not served.
Other Parent filed a Responsive Declaration to Request for Order on March 23rd. However, there is no Proof of Service for this document therefore, the court cannot consider it.
The parties attended Child Custody Recommending Counseling (CCRC) on February 19, 2019 as the result of an RFO previously filed by Respondent. A report with recommendations was made on January 22, 2026. It was mailed to the parties on January 26th, however the copy that was mailed to Respondent was returned as undeliverable.
The parties are ordered to appear for the hearing.
