Westover Law Group and Andrew L. Westover for Respondent. _________________________

Georgette A. Truin (mother) appeals an order denying her request for an order modifying a 2013 juvenile court exit order granting her former husband, York T. Truin (father), sole legal and physical custody of their two minor daughters. We affirm. FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY The juvenile court exit order followed a series of unsubstantiated referrals that mother made to the Department of Children and Family Services, alleging father sexually abused the girls.1 In addition to giving father sole legal and physical custody, the judgment granted mother three hours per week of supervised visitation. In April 2014, the trial court incorporated the exit order into a final judgment of dissolution.

1 Because mother did not designate several key documents for inclusion in the record, our factual recitation is drawn primarily from the transcript of the hearing on mother’s request and the trial court’s written order, which we presume is accurate absent an adequate record to prove otherwise. (See Vo v. Las Virgenes Municipal Water Dist. (2000) 79 Cal.App.4th 440, 448 (Vo) [“The absence of a record concerning what actually occurred at the trial precludes a determination that the trial court [erred].”].) According to the report of a family court services specialist who testified at the hearing, the Department of Children and Family Services determined mother made “manipulating child abuse reports” that “subjected [the children] to numerous forensic exams and interviews . . . all with negative results.” Mother typically made these false allegations “prior to holidays in order to interfere with the father’s custodial time.” This resulted in the Department bringing allegations of “emotional abuse” against mother that “were substantiated.”
