This matter is before the court for hearing of the Request for Order (RFO) filed by the Petitioner on February 10, 2026, to (1) set child custody and visitation, (2) confirm and enforce its continuing and exclusive jurisdiction over this matter, (3) stay all proceedings in the Tribal Court (Pechanga Tribal Court, Case No. ICW-035-25) pending further order of this court; and (4) prohibit the parties from initiating, participating in, or seeking orders from any other court regarding the parties’ minor children. The filing of the RFO prompted the court to refer the parties to a CCRC session set for March 12, 2026.
