10. BRANDON GOMEZ V. TARA GOMEZ 22FL0491

Petitioner filed a Request for Order (RFO) on March 26, 2026, seeking modification of the child custody and parenting plan orders. The parties were referred to Child Custody Recommending Counseling (CCRC) with an appointment on April 27, 2026, and a review hearing on June 25, 2026. Respondent was personally served in accordance with Family Code section 215 on April 22, 2026. Petitioner is seeking sole physical custody of the minor with Respondent to have weekend parenting time.

Both parties and the minor attended CCRC. The parties were unable to reach any agreements. A report with recommendations was filed with the court on May 12, 2026. Copies were mailed to the parties on May 13th.

Respondent filed a Responsive Declaration on June 10, 2026. It was served the same day. Respondent objects to the requested orders and asks that the current orders remain in place.

The court has read and considered the filings as outlined above. The court finds the recommendations as set forth in the May 13th CCRC report to be in the best interest of the minor. The court adopts the recommendations as set forth.

All prior orders not in conflict with these 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 #10: THE COURT FINDS THE RECOMMENDATIONS AS SET FORTH IN THE MAY 13TH CCRC REPORT TO BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE MINOR. THE COURT ADOPTS THE RECOMMENDATIONS AS SET FORTH. ALL PRIOR ORDERS NOT IN CONFLICT WITH THESE 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.

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
