Procedural History 17 1) Liliana Beltran-Aguirre (Mother) and Daniel Alexander Martinez Sanchez (Father) have one 18 minor child together, Adrian (DOB 12/26/2020, age 5).
On 2/9/2022, the Court issued a 3-year 19 restraining order against Father and awarded sole legal and sole physical custody to Mother, with 20 no visitation to Father. At hearings that took place between 6/5/2024 and 1/18/2025, the Court 21 ordered supervised visits for Father. 22 2) On 6/16/2025, the parties entered into a stipulation for unsupervised visits for Father every 23 Sunday from 10am until 5pm and every Tuesday afternoon. On 9/4/2025, the Court denied 24 Father’s request for overnight visits but issued a holiday schedule for Father that included one 25 overnight visit, maintained the Sunday and Tuesday visits, added a Thursday afternoon visit, and 26 indicated it was inclined to award overnight visits at the next hearing. 27 3) In a tentative ruling issued for a 1/27/2026 review hearing, the Court expressed concern about the 28 number of visits Father had missed but accepted his explanation that they were the result of car 29 issues, which had since been resolved.
The parties met and conferred before the 1/27/2026
1 hearing and accepted the Court's tentative ruling maintaining the Tuesday and Thursday 2 afternoon visits and awarding Father one overnight visit on alternating weekends commencing 3 2/27/2026, from 10am on Saturday to 10am on Sunday. The Court ordered that Mother shall have 4 a phone or video call with Adrian on Saturday night before bedtime, to take place at 7:30pm or 5 another mutually agreeable time. The Court set a further review hearing for 5/5/2026. 6 4) On 4/23/2026, Mother filed an update declaration stating Father missed 19 visits between 7 1/20/2026 and 4/21/2026 for various reasons, including car issues, Father’s mistakenly believing 8 it was a Wednesday, oversleeping, choosing not to exercise his visits during the school strike, a 9 court appearance, not being able to make it to pick-up time, job orientations and work-related 10 issues, and his illness.
Mother asks that if the Court is inclined to maintain overnight visits, she 11 would request that the Tuesday, Thursday, and alternating weekend visits continue, with Father 12 being required to provide updates as to what Adrian is eating during his visits, and for all other 13 orders from the 1/27/2026 hearing to remain in full force and effect. 14 5) Father has not filed an update declaration as of the time of this tentative ruling. 15 B. Findings and Orders 16 1) This Court has jurisdiction to make child custody orders in this case under the Uniform Child 17 Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
