LAW & MOTION TENTATIVE RULINGS DEPARTMENT 5 May 28, 2026 8:30 AM/1:30 PM
5. DAWNDEREE HARRISON V. BLAKE HARRISON 25FL1121
Petitioner filed a Request for Order (RFO) on February 26, 2026, seeking spousal support, property control, and Family Code section 2030 attorney’s fees. Petitioner concurrently filed an Income and Expense Declaration. Respondent was served on March 4, 2026; however, the service was missing the Notice of Tentative Ruling as well as the Remote Appearance Request forms.
Respondent filed a Responsive Declaration, as well as Memorandum of Points and Authorities, Declaration of Luke Gary, and an Income and Expense Declaration on May 13, 2026. All were served on May 13, 2026.
Petitioner is seeking guideline spousal support, exclusive use and control of “La Jolla, CA”, and attorney’s fees in the amount of $30,000. Respondent opposes the requests as there is currently a temporary Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) in place and parties are pending trial on the request for a more permanent DVRO. Respondent requests the matter be continued until after the DVRO trial.
The court finds good cause to continue the RFO to join with the currently pending trial, set to commence June 10, 2026, at 8:30 AM in Department 8. Additionally, the court notes there are current orders restricting Petitioner’s access to the San Diego property in the temporary DVRO. The court reserves jurisdiction to retroactively award support to the date of the filing of the RFO. The court reserves on the request for Family Code section 2030 attorney’s fees.
All prior orders not in conflict with these orders remain in full force and effect. Petition 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 #5: THE COURT FINDS GOOD CAUSE TO CONTINUE THE RFO TO JOIN WITH THE CURRENTLY PENDING TRIAL, SET TO COMMENCE JUNE 10, 2026, AT 8:30 AM IN DEPARTMENT 8. ADDITIONALLY, THE COURT NOTES THERE ARE CURRENT ORDERS RESTRICTING PETITIONER’S ACCESS TO THE SAN DIEGO PROPERTY IN THE TEMPORARY DVRO. THE COURT RESERVES JURISDICTION TO RETROACTIVELY AWARD SUPPORT TO THE DATE OF THE FILING OF THE RFO. THE COURT RESERVES ON THE REQUEST FOR FAMILY CODE SECTION 2030 ATTORNEY’S FEES.
