On January 8, 2026, Petitioner filed a Request for Order (RFO) seeking custody and visitation orders and property control orders. The RFO was served on January 12th however the Notice of Tentative Ruling was not served, nor was a blank FL-320.
Respondent filed a Responsive Declaration to Request for Order on March 19th, it was served on March 18th.
