Orders regarding interspousal transfer deed
7. CAROLYN P. RENTSCH V. TODD W. RENTSCH PFL20130845
On January 6, 2026, Respondent filed a Request for Order (RFO) seeking orders regarding an interspousal transfer deed. The RFO and all other necessary documents were personally served on January 24th as required by Family Code § 215.
Petitioner has not filed a Responsive Declaration to Request for Order. Where a party fails to timely file opposition papers the court, in its discretion, may treat said failure “as an admission that the motion or other application is meritorious.” El Dorado County, Local Rule 7.10.02(C). Here, the RFO was timely and properly served on Petitioner. She had notice of the pending request and chose not to file an opposition. As such, the court finds good cause to treat her failure to do so as an admission that the claims made in the RFO are meritorious.
Respondent is requesting exclusive use, possession and control of property be given to Petitioner, but he has not identified what property or the basis for his request. It is unclear to the court exactly what the request is. Accordingly, the RFO is denied.
Respondent is directed to prepare the Findings and Orders After Hearing (FOAH) however this order is effective immediately upon the court’s adoption of the tentative ruling and is not conditioned on the preparation of the FOAH.
