2. CARLEY BAGATELOS V. THEODORE BAGATELOS 25FL1006

On March 23, 2026, Respondent filed a Request for Order (RFO) seeking to stay proceedings. There is no Proof of Service for this document therefore the matter is dropped from calendar due to lack of proper service.

Petitioner filed an RFO on May 29, 2026, seeking child support orders. She filed her Income and Expense Declaration on May 28th.

Because this was originally filed as part of an Order Shortening Time (OST), Respondent filed and served his Responsive Declaration to Request for Order and his Income and Expense Declaration on May 29th.

Petitioner filed and served a supplemental declaration on June 4th.

On June 12th, Respondent filed and served a supplemental declaration and Respondent’s Declaration Re: Good Cause to Consider Supplemental Declaration.

Petitioner filed an objection to the supplemental declaration. She objects to the supplemental declaration as untimely pursuant to Local Rule 8.05.04 and Civil Procedure § 1010. The objection is sustained. The court has read and considered Respondent’s declaration regarding good cause and the court does not find that the facts contained therein constitute good cause to consider the late filed supplemental declaration. As such, Respondent’s June 12, 2026 Supplemental Declaration has not been read or considered.

Petitioner is requesting guideline child support for each of the children. She asks that Respondent be imputed with income in the amount of $7,800 and she asks that support be retroactive back to the date of filing the RFO.

Respondent stipulates to the imputation of income in the amount of $7,800. He states that he has visits with the children twice per week at two hours per visit.

Utilizing the same figures as outlined above, the court finds that child support is $2,413 per month. See attached Xspouse report. The court adopts the attached Xspouse report and orders Respondent to pay Petitioner $2,413 per month as and for child support, payable on the 1st of the month until further order of the court or legal termination. This order for child support is effective June 1, 2026.

The court finds the above order results in arrears in the amount of $2,413 through and including June 1, 2026. The court orders Respondent pay Petitioner $201.08 on the

LAW & MOTION TENTATIVE RULINGS DEPARTMENT 5 June 18, 2026 8:30 a.m./1:30 p.m.

15th of each month until paid in full (approximately 12 months). If any payment is missed or late the entire amount shall become immediately due and payable with legal interest.

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 #2: RESPONDENT’S MARCH 23, 2026 RFO IS DROPPED FROM CALENDAR DUE TO LACK OF PROPER SERVICE. PETITIONER’S OBJECTION TO RESPONDENT’S JUNE 12, 2026 SUPPLEMENTAL DECLARATION IS SUSTAINED. THE SUPPLEMENTAL DECLARATION HAS NOT BEEN READ OR CONSIDERED.

UTILIZING THE SAME FIGURES AS OUTLINED ABOVE, THE COURT FINDS THAT CHILD SUPPORT IS $2,413 PER MONTH. SEE ATTACHED XSPOUSE REPORT. THE COURT ADOPTS THE ATTACHED XSPOUSE REPORT AND ORDERS RESPONDENT TO PAY PETITIONER $2,413 PER MONTH AS AND FOR CHILD SUPPORT, PAYABLE ON THE 1ST OF THE MONTH UNTIL FURTHER ORDER OF THE COURT OR LEGAL TERMINATION. THIS ORDER FOR CHILD SUPPORT IS EFFECTIVE AS OF JUNE 1, 2026.

THE COURT FINDS THE ABOVE ORDER RESULTS IN ARREARS IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,413 THROUGH AND INCLUDING JUNE 1, 2026. THE COURT ORDERS RESPONDENT PAY PETITIONER $201.08 ON THE 15TH OF EACH MONTH UNTIL PAID IN FULL (APPROXIMATELY 12 MONTHS). IF ANY PAYMENT IS MISSED OR LATE THE ENTIRE AMOUNT SHALL BECOME IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE WITH LEGAL INTEREST.

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.
