RULE 6. FAMILYLAW 6.1 GENERAL INFORMATION These Rules apply to all matters related to the Family Law Act, the Uniform Parentage Act, the Domestic Violence Prevention Act, and the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act. (Eff. 01/01/09.) 6.2 MEDIATION All proceedings relating to the custody or visitation of children are governed by the following rules. As used in this chapter, the term “evaluation” includes both partial and full evaluations and is synonymous with “investigation”. The term “assessment” refers to a limited inquiry by Family Court Services (referred hereafter in these rules as “FCS” pursuant to Family Code § 3180. As authorized by Family Code § 3183, the mediation process with FCS in the Sierra County Superior Court shall be referred to as Child Custody Recommending Counseling (hereinafter referred to as CCRC). The CCRC process with FCS is not confidential. The mediator is referred to as a Child Custody Recommending Counselor (hereinafter referred to as “Counselor”). A. Good faith support of the FCS process is mandated. The parties and their attorneys, if any, must make a good faith effort to support the FCS process. FCS conducts a mandatory and valuable process designed to reduce parental conflict and focus the parents’ attention on the child(ren)’s best interests. The purposes of the FCS process are the following: 1. To reduce acrimony that may exist between the parties and to remove the weight of conflict from the child(ren). 2. To develop an agreement assuring the child(ren) close and continuing contact with both parents that is in the best interests of the child(ren). 3. To settle the issue of a parenting plan that is in the best interest of the child(ren), that allows the child(ren) to benefit from the love and care of each parent, and that helps the child(ren) to be stable, secure, happy, and healthy. B. Who conducts CCRC, investigations and evaluations. FCS performs CCRC and § 3180 assessments when ordered by the Court. Generally, FCS will not be appointed for evaluations and does not perform assessments unless ordered by the Court. Whenever FCS does not conduct the evaluation, a qualified private provider shall perform the evaluation. C. Ex parte communication. Except as permitted by Family Code § 216, there shall be no ex parte communication between the attorneys for any party to an action, including child’s counsel, and any court-appointed or court-connected evaluator, mediator, or between a court-appointed or court-connected evaluator or mediator and the court. (Eff. 01/01/09; amended eff. 01/01/23.) 6.2.1 CCRC A. CCRC required by Family Code § 3175. At the time of filing of a Notice of Motion, Request for Order, or Request for Trial on an issue involving a disagreement over child custody or visitation, the Court will schedule a CCRC appointment in order that the issue may be discussed in CCRC before the date of the court hearing or trial. The CCRC date and any requirement of CCRC orientation shall be plainly stated on the face of the pleadings or At Issue Memorandum. This CCRC is referred to in these rules as “mandatory CCRC.” In the event the moving party fails to schedule a CCRC appointment as set forth above, upon service of the moving pleadings, the responding party shall promptly schedule CCRC for a date prior to the hearing, unless the parties have by that time already reached an agreement regarding a parenting plan; in which case they need not contact FCS. B. Telephone Appearances. Upon a showing of good cause, telephonic CCRC may take place when either party resides outside of Sierra County and will suffer extreme hardship by traveling to the CCRC appointment. The request for telephone CCRC shall be made to FCS in advance of the CCRC appointment. Telephone CCRC may be authorized by the Court, the Director of Family Court Services, or any individual counselor to whom a CCRC assignment has been made. (Rule 6.2.1 adopted eff. 01/01/23.) 6.2.2 CHANGE OF CUSTODY COUNSELORS; GENERAL PROBLEMS RELATING TO CCRC A court-employed child custody counselor may disqualify himself/herself from a case for good cause. A party does not have the right to disqualify a counselor. A party may request a different counselor by written request to FCS, stating the reason(s) for the request. Copies of the request must be delivered immediately to the counselor and all other parties and attorneys, if any. Requests based solely on disagreement with the counselor’s recommendations will not be honored. (Rule 6.2.2 adopted eff. 01/01/23.) 6.2.3 CONDUCT OF CCRC A. CCRC. The counselor may exclude attorneys from the counseling session at the sole discretion of the counselor. At the request of a party or attorney, the counselor may be subject to cross-examination. B. Domestic violence cases. In all cases in which domestic violence is alleged and the parties are involved in the FCS process, the parties are entitled to separate counseling sessions, and, whether or not either parent has requested a separate meeting, some time will be spent by FCS with each parent separately, early in the interviewing process, in order to assess this issue in accordance with Family Code § 3181 and the FCS Domestic Violence Protocol. The Domestic Violence Protocol is available from FCS. C. Agreement reached. In the event the parties reach an agreement, their agreement will be reduced to writing and submitted to the court. If either party is represented by counsel, the agreement will be submitted to counsel before it is provided to the Court for approval and made into a court order. If a party’s attorney chooses to leave the courthouse prior to the completion of the CCRC session, the attorney will be responsible for advising the party and FCS as to how he or she may be contacted for review of the agreement; provided, however, that neither the parties nor the Court shall be unduly inconvenienced by the attorney’s conduct. D. Agreement not reached. In the absence of an agreement, the counselor shall make a written status report and recommendation to the court. However, if no proceedings are pending, no recommendation will be made. If appropriate, the counselor’s recommendation may include: 1. Restraining orders being issued pending determination of the controversy; 2. A recommendation for a full or partial custody evaluation; 3. Treatment and/or assessment services; and/or 4. Parenting plans, including but not limited to supervised versus unsupervised. E. CCRC recommendation to court. If any counsel makes a recommendation to the Court, the parties and their attorneys may confer together with the counselor prior to the hearing or trial on the custody or visitation issue to discuss the counselor’s recommendation, and they must make a good faith effort to settle the parenting plan issue by their agreement. F. Order for assessment. If resources are available and if the counselor or the Court determines an assessment could be helpful to reach an agreement or that it may assist in arriving at a recommendation, the court may order an assessment pursuant to Family Code § 3180. “Assessment” means a limited investigation into the needs and interests of the child(ren) that would center on one or two issues relating to their health and safety. G. Admission into Evidence. The status report and recommendation of the CCRC counselor are admitted into evidence without the necessity of the Family Court Services author laying the foundation. However, upon request, the author will be made available for cross-examination at any contested hearing. (Rule 6.2.3 adopted eff. 01/01/23.) 6.3 CONTESTED CASES Following mediation, if there are still unresolved issues regarding custody and visitation, the Court may schedule a hearing. The Court may order a custody evaluation before hearing the case. Following a hearing, the Court may make temporary orders pending the completion of a custody evaluation. The parties will be ordered to pay for the cost of the custody evaluation. The Court may close the courtroom to allow only parties and necessary persons in certain custody and visitation proceedings where it would not be in the best interest of the children to have their issues heard in public. (Eff. 01/01/09.) 6.4 CUSTODY EVALUATION If a custody evaluation is ordered by the Court, the Clerk will inform FCS for assignment of a child custody evaluator. The parties or their attorneys will be informed of the assignment of the evaluator by written notice. (a) Challenge of Evaluator. If a person wishes to change the assignment of the child custody evaluator, he/she should do so by contacting the head of the FCS Department who will make a determination regarding the request. If such a request for a change of evaluator is made, the request must be made within 10 calendar days of receiving the notice of assignment of evaluator from the FCS Department. (b) Evaluation Process. The child custody evaluator will contact the parties directly to request information to begin the process. The parties will respond promptly; any delay in response may create delays in completing the evaluation and thus delay resolution of the custody dispute. (c) Ex Parte Communications. The child custody evaluator will not conduct ex parte communication with the Judge regarding a particular case except where there are questions regarding procedure in that case. If any substantive issues are discussed with the Judge, the evaluator shall so inform each of the parties of the communication. (d) Evaluation Report. A Court date will be set to receive the report of the child custody evaluator. The report will be sent to the Court, the parties, and their attorneys prior to that date. The parties may stipulate to accept the recommendations of the child custody evaluator, or the Court may set the matter for a contested hearing. (e) Payment for Custody Evaluation. Both parties will be referred to the County Treasurer's office to set up payment arrangements for the custody evaluation. The court will periodically review the costs incurred in performing the custody evaluation and will set the custody evaluation fee accordingly. If a party should fail to set up payment arrangements or should fail to make periodic payments for the custody evaluation, then the custody evaluator may unilaterally cancel the custody evaluation. In such event, the custody hearing may go forward without the custody evaluation, and the court may take into consideration a party's non-compliance with the payment arrangements. (Eff. 01/01/09; amended eff. 01/01/23.) 6.5 CHILD AND SPOUSAL SUPPORT/ INCOME AND EXPENSE DECLARATION Within 30 days of the hearing or trial, a current Income and Expense Declaration must be filed by each party where support is at issue. If current facts are temporary, both the actual current facts and estimated prospective facts may be shown if properly identified. If attorney's fees and/or costs are requested, the paragraph pertaining to attorney's fees must be completed. Wage earners must attach legible copies of their paycheck stubs for the most recent two months. In the event no paycheck stubs are available, other appropriate documentation must be attached. (Eff. 01/01/09.) 6.6 TAX RETURNS The parties may be asked to provide legible copies of their last three state and federal income tax returns, including all attachments. Self-employed parties shall bring their most recent profit and loss statements, balance sheets, quarterly sales tax reports, the last filed tax return, or similar documentation evidencing income from all sources. (Eff. 01/01/09.) 6.7 SPOUSAL SUPPORT MODIFICATIONS Every motion to modify support shall set forth the date of the prior order and the amount of the prior order.

Proof of service shall be filed prior to the date of the hearing. (Eff. 01/01/09; amended eff. 01/01/23.) 6.10 ORDER SHORTENING TIME An order shortening time for service of the notice of a hearing will not be granted if the request for that order is not accompanied by a supporting declaration under penalty of perjury which states the need for that order. (Eff. 01/01/09.) 6.11 FAMILY LAW COMMISSIONER The Family Law Commissioner shall hear all Title IV-D support cases, support enforcement, and other family law matters as assigned. These cases will be heard on the second and fourth Thursday at 1:30 p.m. (Eff. 01/01/09; amended eff. 01/01/23.) 6.12 RESPONSIVE PLEADINGS Unless an order shortening time has been issued, responsive papers shall be served and filed at least 10 days prior to the date of the hearing. (Eff. 01/01/09.) 6.13 HEARINGS The attorneys and parties shall be present in Court when their case is called for hearing unless they have previously checked in with the Court clerk and requested the matter be passed for settlement discussion outside the Courtroom. Failure of the moving attorney or moving self-represented party to be present at the hearing or to inform the Courtroom Clerk of his or her presence shall result in the matter being removed from the calendar. If the responding party has appeared, but the moving party has not, attorney's fees and costs may be awarded to the appearing party. In the event the responding party fails to appear, the Court may continue the matter and award attorney's fees or enter an order on the pleadings and/or the testimony of the moving party. If the attorney or client is unable to be present at the time of the hearing, the Court and opposing party shall be notified immediately by telephone of the reasons for and extent of the delay. (Eff. 01/01/09.) 6.14 EX PARTE ORDERS (a) The moving attorney or moving self-represented party must give notice of any ex parte applications to the opposing attorney or self-represented party in accordance with California Rules of Court rules 3.1200-3.1207; "notice shall be given no later than 10:00 a.m. on the court day before the ex parte appearance, absent a showing of exceptional circumstances." A Declaration re: Notice of Ex Parte Application for Order shall be filed with the Court prior to, or at the time of, the hearing.

(c) An ex parte order removing a party from a residence will not be issued without supporting declarations as required by law. (Eff. 01/01/09; subd.

If the Court makes decisions that require the further drafting of the OAH, the Court shall designate one counsel to prepare the written OAH. This draft OAH should be submitted to opposing counsel for approval as to form and forwarded to the Court. Faxed OAH's are acceptable. All OAH's must be submitted to the Court within 14 days following the hearing. Failure to do so may result in the imposition of sanctions. If opposing counsel does not respond to the request for approval as to form within five days, the proposed OAH may be submitted directly to the Court with an attached declaration indicating counsel's attempts at notifying opposing counsel. (Eff. 01/01/09.) 6.16 DEFAULT OR UNCONTESTED JUDGMENTS (a) Judgment by Default/ Notice and Acknowledgment of Receipt.
