No response for Objectors and Respondents.

We affirm the trial court’s orders.

BACKGROUND April 2013 DVRO custody order On April 11, 2013, father obtained a temporary domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) protecting Grace and father against Grace’s mother, Sally Talavera (mother) in Los Angeles County Superior Court case No. MF006143. A form DV-140 custody and visitation order attached to the April 11, 2013 DVRO granted legal custody of Grace to both parents, physical custody to mother, and visitation to father. The form DV-140 states that the custody and visitation orders provided on the form remain in effect after the restraining orders expire. The restraining order expired on October 11, 2013. June 2014 juvenile court custody order and final judgment In August 2013, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family services filed a petition on behalf of then 16- month-old Grace under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (a) and (b) in case No. CK99277. The juvenile court ordered Grace detained from father and released to mother’s care. On June 24, 2014, the juvenile court issued a custody order and final judgment terminating dependency jurisdiction, granting mother sole legal and physical custody of Grace, and granting father monthly monitored visitation.
