In re Marriage of R.K. and G.K.

San Luis Obispo, California family law lawyers represent the parties in divorce case.



The parties were married in May 2016. They have one child – Daughter – who was born in January 2016. They separated in February 2019. Mother acknowledges that she "experienced mental health issues after giving birth.” In December 2020, the parties signed a marital settlement agreement (MSA). It provides that Father "shall have sole legal and sole physical custody of the parties' minor child.”3 Mother was granted visitation. This arrangement was reflected in the marital dissolution judgment, entered in July 2021.



In October 2021, Mother filed a request for an order changing child custody and visitation (the Request). It stated: "The circumstances that resulted in the sole legal/sole physical stipulation under the Marital Settlement Agreement... are no longer in existence. Additionally, [Father] has relocated out of the area and is not complying with the current Court Order, and is frustrating all current visitation and restricting contact with our Child.

The Court ordered joint custody.
