14. RYAN HAYNES V. SONYA LOSSIUS PFL20210153
Respondent filed a Request for Order (RFO) on March 26, 2026, seeking modification of child custody and parenting plan orders. The parties were not referred to Child Custody Recommending Counseling (CCRC) as they had participated in CCRC within the prior six months. Proof of Service shows Petitioner was served by mail and electronically on March 26, 2026.
On April 14, 2026, the court in Department 8 referred the parties to CCRC with an appointment on April 27, 2026. The court ordered the CCRC report to be prepared on an expedited basis. However, a further review hearing was set in the event the report was not able to be prepared in a timely manner.
On May 7, 2026, the court continued the matter to the present date due to the lack of a CCRC report.
Both parties attended CCRC and were unable to reach any agreements. A report with recommendations was filed with the court on May 7, 2026. Copies were mailed to the parties on May 8th.
The court has read and considered the May 7th CCRC report. The court finds Petitioner has not overcome the presumptions of Family Code section 3044. The court maintains the present orders regarding legal and physical custody of the minor. The court adopts the recommendations as set forth in the May 7th CCRC report.
All prior orders not in conflict with these orders remain in full force and effect. Respondent 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.
TENTATIVE RULING #14: THE COURT FINDS PETITIONER HAS NOT OVERCOME THE PRESUMPTIONS OF FAMILY CODE SECTION 3044. THE COURT MAINTAINS THE CURRENT ORDERS FOR LEGAL AND PHYSICAL CUSTODY. THE COURT ADOPTS THE RECOMMENDATIONS AS SET FORTH IN THE MAY 7TH CCRC REPORT.
ALL PRIOR ORDERS NOT IN CONFLICT WITH THESE ORDERS REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. RESPONDENT 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.
