Jaime G. v. H.L.
Annotate this CaseThe Court of Appeal reversed a child custody order awarding child custody jointly to mother and father. The court explained that Family Code section 3044 requires family courts to make specific findings, in writing or on the record, about seven factors, including whether the perpetrator has successfully completed a batterer's treatment program. In this case, conduct of counsel -- repeatedly interrupting -- terminated the hearing while the family court was in the middle of stating its reasons. Therefore, the court remanded for the family court to hold a new hearing and to provide the statement of specific reasons for its decision.
