Mahcoya-Rose Ostrom v. Matthew Baker

LAW & MOTION TENTATIVE RULINGS DEPARTMENT 5 April 16, 2026 8:30 a.m./1:30 p.m.

8. MAHCOYA-ROSE OSTROM V. MATTHEW BAKER 26FL0050

On January 27, 2026, Petitioner filed a Request for Order (RFO) seeking custody and visitation orders. The parties were referred to Child Custody Recommending Counseling (CCRC) and a review hearing was set for the present date.

Respondent has not filed a Responsive Declaration to Request for Order.

The parties were originally scheduled to attend CCRC on February 19th, however, due to inclement weather, neither party was able to appear. Accordingly, CCRC was rescheduled for March 26th.

Only Petitioner appeared at the rescheduled CCRC appointment. It is unclear if either parent was properly served with notice of the rescheduled date.

In light of the circumstances, the court finds it best to re-refer the parties to CCRC. The parties are to attend CCRC on Thursday, May 28th at 9:00 AM. A review hearing is set for Thursday, July 23rd at 8:30 AM in Department 5. Hearing on the RFO is continued to join with the CCRC review hearing. Supplemental Declarations are due to be served no later than 10 days prior to the review hearing.
