14. TIFFANY CHAVERS V. RYAN COMBS PFL20200592

Respondent filed a Request for Order (RFO) on April 14, 2026, requesting a modification of child custody orders. The parties were referred to Child Custody Recommending Counseling (CCRC) with an appointment on May 15, 2026 and a review hearing on July 9, 2026. Upon review of the court file, there is no Proof of Service showing Petitioner was properly served.

Petitioner filed a Responsive Declaration on May 1, 2026. It was served on May 4th. Petitioner does not raise the issue of service, therefore, the court deems it to have been waived.

Nevertheless, both parties appeared at CCRC and were able to reach a full agreement. A copy of the parties’ agreement was filed with the court on May 15th. Copies were mailed to the parties on May 18th.

The court has read and considered the filings as outlined above. The court finds the agreements to be in the best interest of the minors. The court adopts the agreements as set forth in the May 15th CCRC report.

All prior orders not in conflict with these orders remain in full force and effect. Respondent 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 #14: THE COURT FINDS THE AGREEMENTS TO BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE MINORS. THE COURT ADOPTS THE AGREEMENTS AS SET FORTH IN THE MAY 15TH CCRC REPORT. ALL PRIOR ORDERS NOT IN CONFLICT WITH THESE ORDERS REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. RESPONDENT 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 LEWIS V. SUPERIOR COURT, 19 CAL.4TH 1232, 1247 (1999).
