Case 1: Harama vs. Harama

Issue: Defendant (Mr. Harama) motion to terminate spousal support due to job loss.
Plaintiff (Ms. Harama) Position: Questions the validity of job loss, citing lack of documentation (firing vs. severance). Points out discrepancies in reported income. Raises credibility concerns, referencing past financial issues.
Defendant (Mr. Harama) Position: Lost his job in November 2024, constituting a significant change of circumstances, justifying termination or modification of support.


Case 2: Linish vs. Cali

Issues:
Defendant (Ms. Cali) motion for counseling is adjourned.
Objection to an ex parte order entered due to concerns about the child's safety and well being.
Request for relief from mandatory mediation before filing any motion.
Plaintiff (Mr. Linish) Position: Argues the ex parte order was based on false information provided by the defendant and her husband (a law enforcement officer). Alleges they fabricated claims to CPS, leading to the removal of his daughter. Wants ex parte order rescinded and parenting time restored. Claims a pattern of alienation by the mother.
Defendant (Ms. Cali) Position: Claims actions were in response to the child's disclosures of abuse. States a CPS worker advised for the child to stay with her. Alleges Mr. Linish has not attempted to contact the child during the holiday season. Requests counseling for the child. Asks that make up parenting time to be scheduled after her sister's visit ( which occurs over this weekend).

Case 3: Dawson vs. Pearson

Issue: Grandparents' objection to a referee's recommended order regarding grandparenting time.
Grandparents (Ms. Pearson) Position: Contend the referee correctly found the presumption against grandparenting time was overcome. Cites the close relationship between child and grandmother. Claims the child would suffer psychological harm if denied contact with grandmother.
Parent (Ms. Dawson) Position: Argues the standard for grandparenting time is very high when a parent objects. The only evidence presented at the hearing was a supposed statement made by the child which was denied on the record. The standard for a grandparent to overcome this high bar has not been met.

Case 4: Palazola vs. Palazola

Issue: Defendant (Ms. Palazola) objects to a denial of a no contact order against the boyfriend. She appears to also be requesting to modify custody/parenting time.
Plaintiff (Mr. Palazola) Position: Seeks to continue the no-contact order, pointing to the boyfriend's criminal history (child abuse conviction) and PPO. Asks for an evidentiary hearing if modification is considered.
Defendant (Ms. Palazola) Position: Disagrees that she was trying to modify the custody/ parenting time and was confused on which motions where being argued. She requested the rescission or modification of the no contact order, not the denial of her own exparte order. Argues she has not been able to see her child since Dec. 9th.
Court's Decision: Refers the case to the front of the court for investigation. Leaves the no-contact order in place. Suggest that the parties work with front of court to facilitate parenting time around PPO without involving the boyfriend.
Key Themes and Observations:

Factual Disputes: Many cases involve disputes over facts, requiring evidentiary hearings.
Procedural Issues: Some cases, especially with self-represented parties, face procedural hurdles. The court strives to work with parties, particularly self-represented litigants, to make sure their cases are heard.
Child's Best Interest: The court frequently emphasizes the best interests of the children involved, often referring cases for additional investigation and/or recommending counseling.
Parental Alienation: The issue of parental alienation is a major concern in the Linish v Cali case.
Burden of Proof: The cases highlight the burden of proof placed on a party seeking to modify a court order, particularly in cases involving child custody/parenting time, or when seeking grandparenting time.
Importance of Legal Representation: The case of Dawson vs Pearson underscores the complexities of legal proceedings and the value of legal counsel.
