In custody determination, can the "best interest of child" actually overlook bad conduct?:
The other parent has taken children out of state under pretense of a family visit. They cut all forms of communication and made their move permanent over a course of some months (Luckily, it's still within 6 month residency rule.) Completed RFO but with COVID court delays, they were scheduled months out.
I agree with the best interest of child rule, and I am not saying mediator is biased because I didn't get it my way or anything. By time mediation came along, it is no longer in best interest of childen to be with the petitioning party.
Sandra’s answer: This question is very unclear. You lost on your RFO and ....? The use of "they" and "Petitioning party" and "I didn't get my way" is confusing as to who filed what and what was the result? Perhaps you can clarify.
I have no children with my husband, he send me a summons and it requires me for a response FL 120. What will happen if I ignore.: My husband left me 6 months ago after 1 year marriage. He petition for dissolution of marriage and send me a summons. It requires a FL 120 response within 30 days. If I ignored the response, what are the consequences? We don't have anything together yet.only house furniture.
Sandra’s answer:
He will move forward without you and the divorce will be granted. You can always look up information at Judicial council forms "self-help." There are Information sheets that explain how this can move forward with or with out you.

Financial Affidavit vs Mandatory Disclosure for a dissolution of marriage? What is the difference or are the same thing?: If I am required to file for a Mandatory Disclosure, can I just send a Financial Affidavit, or I need to file both of them?
Sandra’s answer: I cannot add to anything above since they tell you what you need to do, except that you can attach an affidavit for further clarity. But you must file the mandatory court forms.
