Request for Order – Child Custody/Visitation
Ingrid Guivar (Mother) filed a Request for Order seeking a modification to existing visitation orders on April 10, 2026. Kendrick Shunk (Father) filed a responsive declaration opposing the request and proposing certain changes on May 21, 2026. The orders concern the parties’ child, Kendrick Kenneth Shunk (DOB 02/13/2020).
The Court has reviewed the submissions of the parties, the prior report by Marin Family Court Services, and related filings. The Court finds good cause and that it is in the best interest of the child to adopt the following schedule for Mother’s visitation:
The Court’s prior Order adopting the recommendations of FCS on Apil 2, 2026, shall remain in effect with the following modifications/clarifications:
For clarity, a week “start” is defined as Monday at the start of school (08:30 am or 10:00 am if there is no school).
Kendrick is to be with his mother as follows:
1. Every Monday after school until 6:30 p.m.
2. Every Tuesday after school until 6:30 p.m.
3. Overnights shall be every other week and also alternate between Saturday night and Sunday night producing a pattern, to simplify this for the parties (and the Court) the weeks are labeled: A, B, C, D, repeating. a. Week A: no weekend overnight b. Week B: Overnight visitation begins at 5:00 P.M. Saturday and ends at 6:00 P.M. Sunday c. Week C: no overnight visitation d. Week D: Overnight visitation begins at 10:00A.M. Sunday and the week ends with the visitation still in progress at 8:30 AM, Monday of Week A.
FL2300703
4. All current orders shall remain in effect.
Counsel for Father to 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.
