Carla Forrest v. Gary Forrest

LAW & MOTION TENTATIVE RULINGS DEPARTMENT 5 April 2, 2026 8:30 AM/1:30 PM

13. CARLA FORREST V. GARY FORREST PFL20180899

Petitioner filed a Request for Order (RFO) on January 30, 2026, seeking modification of visitation orders made on January 15, 2026. The parties were not referred to Child Custody Recommending Counseling (CCRC) as they had attended within the prior six months. Proof of Service shows Respondent was served with only the RFO. The court notes this is a post-judgment request for modification and as such Family Code section 215 applies. Respondent was mail served without address verification.

The court finds the service to be deficient in that Respondent was not served with all the necessary documents. Further, there is no address verification as required. Therefore, the court drops the matter from calendar.

All prior orders remain in full force and effect.

TENTATIVE RULING #13: THE COURT FINDS THE SERVICE TO BE DEFICIENT IN THAT RESPONDENT WAS NOT SERVED WITH ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. FURTHER, THERE IS NO ADDRESS VERIFICATION AS REQUIRED. THEREFORE, THE COURT DROPS THE MATTER FROM CALENDAR. ALL PRIOR ORDERS REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.
