Petitioner (father) and real party in interest (mother) are parties to a dissolution proceeding involving the custody of their minor child. Petitioner challenges orders made by a temporary judge authorizing mother to take the child to India. Court agree with petitioner that the temporary judge acted in excess of his authority since the stipulation and order appointing the temporary judge expressly excluded custody and visitation issues. Therefore, Court issue a peremptory writ in the first instance directing respondent court to set aside the challenged orders.
