13. KENNETH CROMPTON V. DAYNA CROMPTON 23FL0077

Petitioner filed a Request for Order (RFO) on November 26, 2026, seeking health insurance decision making rights as well as reassignment of the Child Custody Recommending Counseling (CCRC) counselor. Respondent and Minors’ Counsel were served electronically on November 26, 2025. However, they were not served with a blank FL-320.

Parties appeared for the hearing on February 19, 2026. Petitioner requested the matter be continued to allow service to be perfected. The court granted the request to continue the request to reassign the CCRC counselor to May 14, 2026. The court found the issue of health insurance to be moot.

Petitioner filed Proof of Service on February 19, 2025, showing all the required documents were served on November 16, 2026

Neither Respondent nor Minors’ Counsel has filed a Responsive Declaration.

The court has read and considered the filings as outlined above and the April 3, 2025 CCRC report. While the court understands Petitioner’s concerns, the court cannot find the CCRC counselor has violated any rules of court or has demonstrated bias. It appears Petitioner disagrees with the counselor’s assessment of the circumstances and disagrees with the counselor's recommendation. Those are not grounds to reassign the counselor. Petitioner’s request to reassign the CCRC counselor is denied.

All prior orders remain in full force and effect. 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 #13: THE COURT CANNOT FIND THE CCRC COUNSELOR HAS VIOLATED ANY RULES OF COURT OR HAS DEMONSTRATED BIAS. PETITIONER’S REQUEST TO REASSIGN THE CCRC COUNSELOR IS DENIED.

ALL PRIOR ORDERS REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. 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.
