Procedural History 17 1. The parties are Other Parent Indira Carranza Navarro (“Mother”) and Respondent Earl Horton 18 (“Father”). 19 2.

The parties have two children, Kimberly Nevaeh Horton, age 12, and Gianni Isabella Carranza, 20 age 4. 21 3. On March 13, 2026, Mother filed a Request for Order for Change of Custody and Visitation. She 22 is requesting sole legal and physical custody of the minor children. With respect to parenting 23 time, Mother requests that Father have visitation every Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. 24 4. The current custody order awards parties joint legal and physical custody. Under the current 25 order, Father’s parenting time is from Thursday at 9:00 a.m. to Sunday at 9:00 a.m. 26 5.

Mother seeks modification of the current custody and visitation order based on concerns 27 regarding Father’s living situation, possible drug use, and his failure to consistently exercise his 28 parenting time. Specifically, Mother sates that Father frequently asks her to pick up the children 29 early on Thursdays, which she reports occurs approximately two to three times per month.

A valid proof of service for Mother’s Request for Order is on file. 4 7. Father has not filed a Response to Mother’s Request for Order. 5 8. The parties had separate mediation appointments and did not reach an agreement. 6 9.
