20 A. Procedural History 21 1) Jason Todd Wong (Father) and Jogi M Quimbo (Mother) have two minor children together, 22 Quinci (DOB 7/8/2010, age 15) and Quirena (DOB 6/17/2012, age 13). The Court ordered in a 23 Findings and Order After Hearing filed 1/11/2023 that the parties shall have joint legal and 24 physical custody of the children, with a 2-2-5-5 and shared holiday parenting time schedule. 25 2) On 5/1/2026, Father filed an ex parte request seeking sole legal and sole physical custody of both 26 children after Quirena was hospitalized after a suicide attempt and Mother had her released 27 against medical advice, and Mother’s home was foreclosed on and sold at auction on 4/29/2026. 28 Father states the parties have not been following the 2-2-5-5 parenting time schedule as to either 29 child because Quinci no longer wants to live with Mother and Quirena has been staying mostly at
1 Mother’s home to take care of the family dog that lives in Mother’s home, and with whom 2 Quirena is deeply bonded. Father states that Mother has “largely neglected to care for our 3 daughters leaving the majority of parenting duties to me.” He expresses “grave concerns” about 4 Mother’s judgment as it relates to legal custody and provides numerous examples that reflect his 5 concerns. The Court granted Father’s ex parte request in part, awarding him temporary sole legal 6 custody regarding Quirena’s health and temporary sole physical custody of Quirena pending a 7 hearing on his request for sole legal and physical custody of both children.
The Court also 8 ordered that the family dog shall move with Quirena to Father’s home. The Court ordered the 9 parties to attend orientation with Family Court Services on 5/4/2026 or 5/11/2026 and attend 10 mediation on 5/12/2026 at 9am. 11 3) Father has filed a declaration of diligence in attempting service of the ex parte request on Mother 12 and a declaration from counsel that shows that Mother received, via email from counsel, the ex 13 parte request, the Court’s ex parte order, and a blank FL 320 (Responsive Declaration).
