Request for Order – Child Custody/Visitation
Ava Hajirassouliha (Mother) filed a Request for Order on April 1, 2026, seeking enforcement of existing custody and visitation orders arguing that Hamid Rassouli (Father) is not adhering to the schedule agreed to by the parties following his relocation to Walnut Creek.
The parties were referred to Marin Family Court Services (FCS) for child custody recommending counseling and mediation. FCS prepared a report dated May 19, 2026. Mother filed a statement of disagreement with the recommendations in the report.
The Court has reviewed the Mediated Custody Agreement entered into by the parties in February 2021. (Attached to this Order for the convenience of the parties.) That agreement provides, in relevant part, that the children, Hannah (DOB 10-24-2013) and Ryan (DOB 7-14-2010), shall be with Father every Monday, Thursday, and Sunday, and Fridays by agreement.
Following Father’s relocation to Walnut Creek, he has not performed consistent with the mediated agreement. Father has indicated that he hopes to be able to return to Mill Valley when he is allowed to work remotely. But Father reports he is currently required to work in the office five days a week from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Father is required to comply with the terms of the Mediated Custody Agreement. If he is unable to provide the level of shared custody for the children, he may be required to provide support to Mother in the form of assistance until such time as he is able to return to Mill Valley (or the surrounding area).
The parties are ordered to appear. (They may appear by Zoom.)
As authorized by CRC Rule 5.125, the Court shall prepare the Findings and Order After Hearing.
Parties must comply with Marin County Superior Court Local Rules, Rule 7.12(B), (C), which provide that if a party wants to present oral argument, the party must contact the Court at (415) 444-7046 and all opposing parties by 4:00 p.m. the court day preceding the scheduled hearing. Notice may be by telephone or in person to all other parties that argument is being requested (i.e., it is not necessary to speak with counsel or parties directly.) Unless the Court and all parties have been notified of a request to present oral argument, no oral argument will be permitted except by order of the Court. In the event no party requests oral argument in accordance with Rule 7.12(C), the tentative ruling shall become the order of the court.
IT IS ORDERED that evidentiary hearings shall be in-person in Department B. For routine appearances, the parties may access Department B for video conference via a link on the court website. Litigants in the virtual courtroom are required to leave the video screen on and wait for your case to be called.
