Petitioner filed a Request for Order (RFO) on February 6, 2026, seeking a modification of child custody and parenting plan orders.

Petitioner filed an ex parte application for emergency custody orders on March 19, 2026. Respondent filed a Responsive Declaration on March 23 and again on March 24th. The court granted the ex parte request in part on March 24, 2026 and referred the parties to an emergency set CCRC appointment for April 7, 2026 and a review hearing set for May 7, 2026.
