Ruling

Respondent’s request for $25,000 in Family Code section 271 sanctions is DENIED. The Court cannot find that Petitioner’s conduct has frustrated the policy of the law to promote settlement and reduce the cost of litigation by encouraging cooperation between the parties. 2) Petitioner’s request for reimbursement of $2,838 in the form of attorney’s fees sanctions for costs incurred responding to the Request for Order is DENIED as the Court does not have updated information regarding Respondent’s income and assets, which is needed to evaluate whether granting such a request imposes an unreasonable financial burden on Respondent. 3) The Court will prepare the Findings and Order After Hearing.
