Procedural History 19 1) Petitioner Todd Georgopapadakos (Husband) and Respondent Tanya Georgopapadakos (Wife) 20 married on 6/9/1996. The parties have one adult daughter. Their son passed away from cancer in 21 2018 at age 15. 22 2) On 3/26/2025, following a three-afternoon long-cause hearing which occurred on 1/28/2025, 23 1/30/2025, 2/6/2025, the Honorable Judge Costin issued a Final Statement of Decision regarding 24 Breach of Fiduciary Duty; Division of Property; Permanent Spousal Support; and Husband’s 25 Request for Family Code section 271 attorney’s fees sanctions.
Regarding spousal support, the 26 Judge Costin ordered: “The present order for temporary spousal support ($1,637 per month) shall 27 remain in effect until after the parties’ marital status is terminated. After Judgment terminating 28 status is entered, the Court sets long term support at $1,500.00 per month. This amount is, of 29 course, in addition to the asset distributions from the solar businesses set forth above.” Judge
1 Costin also awarded to Husband $50,000 in Family Code section 271 attorney’s fees sanctions, to 2 be paid by Wife at a rate of $500 per month as a deduction from Wife’s monthly spousal support. 3 Judge Costin stated in Paragraph C(1) of the Statement of Decision, “The Court notes it was not 4 tasked at this long cause evidentiary hearing with valuation or division of the entirety of the
5 parties’ other assets and debts... The parties still need to reach agreement or schedule an 6 additional trial for the Court to adjudicate any remaining issues.” 7 3) On 2/19/2026, the Honorable Judge Mori entered a Judgment which incorporated Judge Costin’s 8 Final Statement of Decision, with a reservation of the Court’s jurisdiction “over all issues not 9 addressed in the Final Statement of Decision.” 10 4) Neither Judge Costin’s Statement of Decision, nor the Judgment terminate the parties’ marital 11 status. 12 5) Now on for hearing is Wife’s Request for Order filed 4/15/2026 asking the Court to:
13 a. Set temporary spousal support of $7,181 per month, based on Husband’s total income 14 from all sources (“at minimum $25,647/month per his own bank declaration”) until the 15 property division is complete 16 b. Remove the $5,000/month earning capacity imputation to Wife. Wife states her present 17 circumstances make the imputation untenable, writing, “I was the primary caregiver for 18 our terminally ill son Xander until his death. I am still grieving. In June 2025, I suffered a 19 stroke and am under active neurology care... I am on Medicaid and SNAP. I cannot 20 afford rent in Honolulu or San Francisco.”
21 c. Address the $500/month FC § 271 sanction offset. 22 d. Order Husband to pay Wife’s share of all distributions from GIFT, HPVP, DEP, DEP 23 FIT Energy, DEP/APB JV, and all related entities retroactive to March 26, 2025. 24 e. Order Husband to file an Income and Expense Declaration with Bank Statements. 25 f. Order Husband to file a complete Income and Expense Declaration with all supporting 26 documents within 15 days. 27 g. Neutral CPA + Records. Order all K-1s, tax returns, bank statements, and distribution 28 records for 2021–2025 produced to a neutral CPA within 30 days. 29
1 h. Order Husband and all entities he controls to cease new capital investments or 2 reinvestments using community funds without prior court approval. 3 i. Set a hearing on valuation of all community business interests. 4 j. Set aside both FL-144s under FC § 2122 (duress, fraud, perjury, failure to disclose).
5 k. Deny request to protect business partners from civil lawsuits. 6 l. Order Husband to pay fees under FC §§ 2030, 2032, and sanctions under FC § 271. 7 m. Order the in-kind transfer of the Waianae solar farm including all land, buildings, solar 8 equipment, and HECO FIT contracts. 9 n. Calendar for full evidentiary hearing. Award 50% penalty (FC § 1101(g)) or 100% (FC § 10 1101(h)) on all fraudulently concealed assets. 11 o. Retain jurisdiction until Husband has fully complied with the SOD and every order of 12 this Court.
13 p. Other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper. 14 6) On 4/17/2026, Wife filed a Memorandum of Points and Authorities. 15 7) On 6/1/2026 and 6/5/2026, Husband filed duplicate Responsive Declarations asking the Court to 16 deny all of Wife’s requests. Husband states, “As set forth in Petitioner’s Reply Declaration, every 17 issue Respondent raises was adjudicated at the trial before Judge Anne Costin, addressed in the 18 Final Statement of Decision filed March 26, 2025, or resolved by the Judgment (FL-180) that 19 Respondent voluntarily signed on October 20, 2025. Respondent presents no new facts 20 warranting modification or reconsideration.” Husband is referring to his Reply Declaration filed
21 on 6/5/2026 for his Request for Order filed 4/10/2026 (which was adjudicated on 6/9/2026). The 22 Court notes there is no Judgment signed by Wife on 10/20/2025 attached to his Reply Declaration 23 filed 6/5/2026 or his Request for Order filed 4/10/2026. 24 8) According to the Proof of Service filed 6/5/2026, Husband’s Responsive Declaration was served 25 on Wife “electronically through File & ServeXpress” on 6/1/2026. 26 9) Wife did not file a Reply Declaration. 27 B. Findings and Order 28 1) On the Court’s own motion, the hearing on Wife’s Request for Order filed 4/15/2026 is hereby 29 continued to 7/21/2026 at 9:00 AM in Dept. 404.
