REQUEST FOR ORDER FOR CHANGE OF CHANGE OF VISITATION (PARENTING TIME), SEEK WORK ORDER; REQUEST FOR ORDER RE PAYMENT OF AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR CHILDRENS EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITES AND REIMBURSEMENT; NOTICE OF TIME AND PLACE OF STATUS CONFERENCE (FAMILY LAW) TENTATIVE RULING
A. Custody and Visitation
1) Appearances required.
B. Custody Evaluation, School Choice, Seek Work Order, Gavron Warning, Child Support Add-Ons Having read and considered the pleadings, declarations, and other evidence submitted in this matter, the Court makes the following findings and orders:
1) Mother’s request for a custody evaluation to be paid for by Father is DENIED.
2) Father’s request that the children attend public school for the 2020/21 school year is denied, as it is not properly before the Court per Family Code section 213.
3) Having reviewed the Vocational Evaluation submitted by Lisa Trustin, M.A., ABVE included with Father’s pleadings, the Court makes the following orders. Mother has stated in her pleadings that she has 25 hours per week during which she can dedicate to her seek work efforts when she is not performing childcare duties. Commencing 2/11/2020 through 3/31/2020, Mother is ordered to spend at least 20 hours per week performing the tasks outlined in Ms. Trustin’s report (pg. 4-5, Paragraphs A – K). The Court will not at this time order Father to pay for a private career counselor or coach because Ms. Trustin outlines free and low-cost job seeking resources that Mother may take advantage of. Commencing April 1, 2020, Mother shall continue to spend at least 20 hours per week on the tasks outlined in Ms. Trustin’s report (pg. 4-5, Paragraphs A – K), but she must also apply for at least 5 jobs per week. Commencing 2/24/2020, Mother shall provide to Father via email a written log of the job seeking activities that she has performed during the previous week.
4) Mother is hereby put on notice that it is the goal of this state that each party will make reasonable good faith efforts to become self-supporting as provided in Family Code section 43220.
5) The parties are reminded that they share joint legal custody and should be making shared decisions regarding the children’s activities. The parties shall share equally the expenses for all mutually agreed upon extracurricular activities.
6) Mother’s request that Father reimburse Mother for one-half of the costs incurred to date for the children to participate in ongoing sports activities is DENIED as there is no Court order nor does there appear to be an agreement between the parties for the sharing of these discretionary child support add-ons.
