Petitioner filed a Request for Order (RFO) on March 30, 2026, seeking modification of child custody orders. Upon review of the court file, there is no Proof of Service showing Respondent was properly served.
Respondent filed a Responsive Declaration, Declaration of Theodore Henderson, and an Objection and Request to Strike on June 4, 2026. Proof of Service shows those were served on June 4, 2026.
Respondent filed a Supplemental Declaration as well as a Declaration of Thomas Price on June 8, 2026. Both were served the same day.
Petitioner filed a Supplemental Declaration as well as a Declaration of Counsel on June 8, 2026. There is no Proof of Service for these documents, therefore, the court has not considered them.

The court sustains Respondent’s Objections to Petitioner March 30th Declaration.
