LAW & MOTION TENTATIVE RULINGS DEPARTMENT 5 June 18, 2026 8:30 a.m./1:30 p.m.
13. KRISTA HARDWICK V. CHRISTOPHER HARDWICK 24FL0251
Petitioner filed an ex parte application for emergency orders to reinstate health insurance on April 9, 2026. Respondent filed a Responsive Declaration the same day. On April 10, 2026, the court granted the ex parte request, ordering Respondent to reinstate Petitioner’s health insurance or pay for the equivalent insurance. The court reserved on the request for sanctions. Petitioner filed a Request for Order (RFO) on April 10, 2026, seeking the same requests as set forth in the ex parte application. Proof of Service shows Respondent was electronically served on April 13, 2026, which does not comply with the court’s order of April 10th that the orders must be personally served.
Petitioner filed a Supplemental Declaration on June 4, 2026. There is no Proof of Service for this document, therefore, the court cannot consider it.
The court drops the matter from calendar due to the failure to properly serve Respondent. All prior orders remain in full force and effect. The court continues to reserve on the request for reimbursement and sanctions until the time of trial.
