LAW & MOTION TENTATIVE RULINGS DEPARTMENT 5 May 28, 2026 8:30 AM/1:30 PM

8. BRITTANY KEE-KOC V. JIMMY FERREL KEE, JR. 26FL0097

Petitioner filed a Request for Order (RFO) on February 25, 2026, seeking child custody and parenting plan orders. The parties were referred to Child Custody Recommending Counseling (CCRC) with an appointment on April 2, 2026, and a review hearing on May 28, 2026. Proof of Service shows Respondent was served by mail on March 2, 2026. However, Respondent was not severed with all the required documents, namely he was not served with the Notice of Tentative Ruling and the Remote Appearance Request forms.

Both parties appeared at CCRC and were able to reach a full agreement. A report memorializing the parties’ agreement was filed with the court on May 12, 2026. Copies were mailed to the parties on May 13, 2026.

Respondent has not filed a responsive declaration.

The court has read and considered the May 12th CCRC report with the parties’ agreement. The court finds good cause to proceed, despite the defect in service, as the parties attended CCRC and reached an agreement. The court finds the agreement to be in the best interest of the minor. The court adopts the agreement as set forth.

All prior orders not in conflict with these orders remain in full force and effect. 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 #8: THE COURT FINDS GOOD CAUSE TO PROCEED, DESPITE THE DEFECT IN SERVICE, AS THE PARTIES ATTENDED CCRC AND REACHED AN AGREEMENT. THE COURT FINDS THE AGREEMENT TO BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE MINOR. THE COURT ADOPTS THE AGREEMENT AS SET FORTH. ALL PRIOR ORDERS NOT IN CONFLICT WITH THESE ORDERS REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. 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.

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
