LAW & MOTION TENTATIVE RULINGS DEPARTMENT 5 May 21, 2026 8:30 AM/1:30 PM
6. SCOTT RONNINGEN V. ANGELINA RONNINGEN 23FL0127
On November 13, 2025, Respondent filed a Request for Order (RFO) seeking sanctions and further sentencing for Petitioner’s noncompliance with court orders. The RFO was served by mail on January 13, 2026. It appears the Notice of Posting Tentative Ruling was not served with the RFO.
The parties appeared for the hearing on February 26, 2026 at which time the court found improper service of the RFO. Because the RFO deals with failure to comply with an Order to Show Cause (OSC), the RFO must be personally served as would an OSC. The court granted Respondent’s request to continue to allow for proper service.
The RFO and the February 26th Minute Order were personally served on Petitioner on March 24, 2026.
Petitioner has not filed a Responsive Declaration to Request for Order.
Respondent is seeking the following: (1) Petitioner to be found in noncompliance with his sentence issued at the March 12, 2025 hearing; (2) Petitioner to be found in violation of his probation; (3) further sentencing; and (4) Family Code § 271 sanctions. Of note, Respondent seems to be referencing Petitioner as “Respondent” in her moving papers.
The parties are ordered to appear for the hearing.
TENTATIVE RULING #6: THE PARTIES ARE ORDERED TO APPEAR FOR THE HEARING.
