Ruling

LAW & MOTION TENTATIVE RULINGS DEPARTMENT 5 August 27, 2026 8:30 AM/1:30 PM

13. RACHAEL OSBORN V. MATTHEW OSBORN 23FL0134

Respondent filed a Request for Order (RFO) seeking a modification of the child custody and parenting plan orders on June 5, 2026. The parties were referred to Child Custody Recommending Counseling (CCRC) for an appointment on July 17, 2026, and a review hearing on August 27, 2026. Petitioner was personally served with some but not all the required documents. Petitioner was not served with the referral to CCRC or the Notice of Tentative Ruling.

Only Respondent appeared at the CCRC appointment. A single parent report with no recommendations was prepared on July 17, 2026, and mailed to the parties the same day.

Petitioner filed a Responsive Declaration on August 11, 2026. It was mail served on Respondent on August 11th. Petitioner requests the court drop, deny, or dismiss the RFO due to procedural deficiencies.

The court drops the matter from calendar due to the lack of proper service as well as the procedural deficiencies, specifically the RFO was not signed.

All prior orders remain in full force and effect.

TENTATIVE RULING #13: THE MATTER IS DROPPED FROM CALENDAR DUE TO THE LACK OF PROPER SERVICE AS WELL AS THE PROCEDURAL DEFICIENCIES, SPECIFICALLY THE RFO WAS NOT SIGNED. ALL PRIOR ORDERS REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.

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).
