5. JORDAN LYKINS V. SONJA GILSON 24FL0295

This matter is before the court for a Child Custody Recommending Counseling (CCRC) review hearing. The parties were referred to CCRC on January 20, 2026, during the hearing on Petitioner’s request for a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO). In accordance with the court’s order, the parties attended CCRC on February 4, 2026 and were able to reach agreements on all issues. A report containing those agreements was prepared and mailed to the parties on March 13, 2026.

The parties appeared for the hearing on this matter on July 2nd, however due to extenuating circumstances the matter was continued to the present date.

Respondent filed and served a supplemental declaration on July 20th.

Petitioner filed his supplemental declaration on July 23rd, however the court finds this to be late filed and therefore it has not been read or considered.

The court has reviewed the filings as outlined above and, given that Petitioner has dropped the DVRO request, the court finds the agreements contained in the March 13, 2026 CCRC report to be in the best interests of the minors and they are hereby adopted as the orders of the court.

Petitioner 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 #5: THE COURT FINDS THE AGREEMENTS CONTAINED IN THE MARCH 13, 2026 CCRC REPORT TO BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE MINORS AND THEY ARE HEREBY ADOPTED AS THE ORDERS OF THE COURT.

PETITIONER 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.

NO HEARING ON THIS MATTER WILL BE HELD UNLESS A REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT IS TRANSMITTED ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH THE COURT’S WEBSITE OR BY PHONE CALL TO THE COURT AT (530) 621-6725 BY 4:00 P.M. ON THE DAY THE TENTATIVE RULING IS ISSUED. CAL. RULE CT. 3.1308; LOCAL RULE 8.05.07; SEE ALSO LEWIS V. SUPERIOR COURT, 19 CAL.4TH 1232, 1247 (1999). NOTICE TO ALL PARTIES OF
