The 18 parties have two minor children, Aviona (DOB: 7/30/2012) and Aniyah (DOB: 4/14/2015). 19 Mother is represented by contempt counsel Margaret Pendergast. Father is self-represented. 20 2) At a prior hearing on 8/28/2025 and 9/5/2025, the Court adjudicated Father’s Order to Show 21 Cause Re: Contempt filed 2/25/2025. Mother was represented by contempt counsel Margaret 22 Pendergast. The Court found that Mother had willfully violated Court orders by failing to make 23 court-ordered payments toward attorney’s fees and engaging in non-peaceful communication with 24 Father.

The Court ordered Mother to complete 100 hours of community service to commence on 25 10/1/2025, to be completed by 1/31/2026. The Court noted that Mother was not working and 26 noted it believed 10 hours a week of community service was appropriate. The Court ordered that 27 Mother focus her community service on organizations that protect children. The Court ordered 28 Mother to file and serve a declaration attesting to completion of the Court ordered community 29 service hours on or before 1/31/2026, with documentary proof of compliance (e.g., a signed letter

1 and / or certificate from a third party agency at which the citee performed service). The Court 2 noted that failure to comply with this order may result in the Court’s consideration of changing 3 parenting time and custody orders. The Court set a compliance hearing on 2/10/2026. 4 3) At the prior hearing on 2/3/2026 (on a second Order to Show Cause filed by Father, which was

5 dismissed and discharged by the Court that same day), Mother stated she had been doing 6 community service but she notified her attorney that she needed additional time to complete the 7 hours as she is now working. 8 4) At the prior hearing on 2/10/2026 (to review Mother’s compliance with the community service 9 orders), the Court granted Mother’s request for an extension to complete her community service 10 hours and found that Mother’s current volunteer location (at a thrift store) was appropriate. The 11 Court continued the compliance hearing to 4/14/2026. 12 5) On 4/7/2026, Mother filed a document entitled Proof of Compliance of Court Ordered
